AllMusic editor Andy Kellman felt that Colon "makes a smooth transition from R&B-oriented material to mature contemporary rock and ballads that just happen to recall the output of both Levine's Maroon 5 and Bedingfield. Colon certainly sounds more comfortable here than he did on his first two albums, where he was situated somewhere between Anthony Hamilton (rustic throwback soul) and Babyface (silky-smooth R&B ballads)."[2] Rolling Stone's Jody Rosen found the album "thoroughly catchy," but critiqued that: "[T]he music is pro forma radio pop; the lyrics lean towards insipid inspiration. ("Good things come in spades/To those who wait.") But it's hard to be cynical about music this pleasantly well-sung."[4] Entertainment Weekly writer Mikael Wood was critical of the "snoozy soft-rock tunes" that does nothing to elevate Colon, but gave note of one highlight: "a disarmingly specific cancer lament that somehow musicalizes the words "head of oncology.""[3] Jon Pareles, writing for The New York Times, said: "The album stays kindly, polished and simpering all the way through, with only one surprise: The unromantic revelation that ends the song "O.K., Here's the Truth." Mr. Colon's skill as singer and songwriter is obvious, but now that he has national name recognition, blandness reigns."[5]

Chart performance

Come Through for You debuted and peaked at number 134 on the US Billboard 200 and at number 20 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, with first week sales of 9,974 units, according to Nielsen Soundscan. Despite being the winner of the first season of The Voice, Colon's album was outsold by Red, the album of the first season's runner-up, Dia Frampton. By June 2013, Come Through for You had sold 46,000 copies in the US.[1]
