Reception

The single received generally positive reviews from critics. Stereogum described "Home Tonight" as "true-to-form for McCartney", highlighting the track's brass embellishments and "jammy" feel. [3] "In a Hurry" was acclaimed by the magazine for its "asymmetrical" synthesizer parts and "frenzied" atmosphere. [3] Rolling Stone said the songs showed McCartney's "pop prowess hasn't diminished, with 'Home Tonight' and 'In a Hurry' both incorporating McCartney's trademark Beatlesque melodies with more modern techniques." [1] UDiscoverMusic compared the subject matter of "In a Hurry" to that of McCartney's 1971 hit "Another Day", highlighting the lyric "Every minute, she'd be rushing, someone always breathing down her neck/Felt like everyone was pushing her down, keeping her in check". [2]

While the song did not chart in McCartney's native UK, it did reach number 49 on the Belgian region of Flanders' Ultratop chart. [4]
