It met with positive critical response, with many critics regarding it as the best song off of ''Re:creation''. ==Background and composition==
In an interview with Deborah Evans Price of ''The Boot'', Chapman described "Long Way Home" as "God just letting me sort of smile with music again". Chapman added that "There was such a heaviness (the death of his daughter Maria ) that music became so deep and so heavy. Then I discovered ukulele and it was like God saying, 'Here play this for a little while and I want you to smile a little bit again with music. I want it to be fun.' You can't frown and play a ukulele. There's just no way. It just makes you smile. I think that's why Hawaiians are all so happy".〔 In a separate interview with Caroline Leak of ''CCM Magazine'', he described it as a "traveling song", elaborating that "We're on this journey and though today feels long, we're going to make it. It may not be a mountain top day, bit it feels appropriate to sing about that. And it feels appropriate to play it on a ukelele".〔 "Long Way Home" is led by the ukulele,〔〔 and features a "sandy beach flavor"〔 and "laid-back island vibe". Lyrically, it alludes to Chapman's personal trials〔 as well as earth being a journey on the way to heaven.〔 The lyrics to "Long Way Home" are "gut-wrenching"〔 and "evidence of ever-deepening songwriting and spiritual maturity".〔
