Jeff Nelson of the US website people.com wrote about Can not Go Home , that the song when creating his "Songs of the Summer Playlist" ( English should draw about "Summer Hits Playlist") as a worthy addition considered. The German radio station bigFM described Can't Go Home as a "hammer track". The German-language music portal trendcharts.de described the song as an “extremely catchy, fresh track” that swims between two worlds with its head held high and sails set . Can't Go Home is a "cross-genre track" that could bring Aoki the next top 10 hit after his Linkin Park collaboration ( A Light That Never Comes ). Tim Tabens from dance-charts.de is of the opinion that the piece could convince. The number is an "absolute" rarity and the best illustrative material for various genres that you can hear. You can clearly hear that Can't Go Home was produced by Aoki and Jaehn. It is a one-off production of “Melodic House” and “Fat Electro ”. Lambert's singing sounds “bombastic”. An incredible amount of feeling and a great melody would adorn the work.
