Welcome Home is the second studio album by the American band 'Til Tuesday, released in 1986.[2][3] It peaked at No. 49 on the Billboard 200. The band supported the album with a North American tour.[4]
The Los Angeles Times wrote that "Mann is adept at writing melancholy lyrics about shattered romance, but they don't have to be set to languid music."[9]The Gazette determined that "none of the members of this East Coast modern pop quartet could put together a decent song if it were written on their beautiful foreheads, and one more video band takes the gas."[10] The Orlando Sentinel called Welcome Home "a warm, sepia-toned collection of tunes that exploit Mann's songwriting abilities."[8]The New York Times concluded that "one by one, the songs just barely steer clear of self-pity... But together, they add up to an album as single-mindededly morose as Frank Sinatra's Only the Lonely."[11] Timothy White in Spin noted that "Mann writes taut yet warmly ironic songs that succeed for their keen subtleties."[12]
