"As far as breakout potential, this could go either way: Carey purists are going to go ham for that key change and those runs at the end, but the beat feels a little vanilla and the chorus is not exactly a home run.
Carey’s body of work is pretty phenomenal—she could comfortably put together a satisfying two-disc greatest hits without having to let middling stuff sneak in—but it has been a while since she delivered a really transcendent single. It used to be her bread and butter; she still holds the record for most chart-topping songs by a solo artist in history.
But this millennium has been spottier, and though songs like “Obsessed” and “Touch My Body” scored big on the charts, they both feel like weaker versions of other Carey smashes (and have not aged particularly well, either). “Almost Home” kind of feels the same way. It’s an uplift anthem that could have been sung by most anybody, at least for the first three minutes."
But honestly their not really trashing her,nor are they really praising her.They basically feel that it is average,but hey if that's their opinion....then cool with the Lambily. Were still unbothered.
I don't necessarily agree with that. The point that this song makes is that Mariah can sound good on current production, and that the song ITSELF is current. And that's definately something the fanbase needed after "Triumphant".
