According to Kat Bein from Billboard, "'Carry You Home' is the friend you deserve in your time of need. Beautiful vocals from Aloe Blacc are a strong wind under the wings of this electronic hook. [...] StarGate come through with a production assist to help make this tune as grand and wide-open as long country roads."[2]We Rave You considers that "the melody is where the true character lies in this feel-good anthem that certainly brings an uplifting atmosphere to its sound. From start to finish 'Carry You Home' is never short of a stimulating beat as the track builds to an exhilarating and rapturous chorus."[3]
