Welcome Home is the second studio album by the American band 'Til Tuesday, released in 1986.[1] It peaked at No. 49 on the Billboard 200. The band supported the album with a North American tour.[2]
The album was produced by Rhett Davies.[3] All of its songs were written or cowritten by Aimee Mann.[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."[5] 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."[6] The Orlando Sentinel called Welcome Home "a warm, sepia-toned collection of tunes that exploit Mann's songwriting abilities." 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."[7]
