Critical reception

Robert Copsey of Digital Spy gave the song four stars out of five and a called it "far more than a note-for-note rehash. "Walk away, that's what you do," he bawls innocently over bobbing synths courtesy of Richard X, before defiantly calling "come on, come on" to his contrary lover. In fact, even after repeated listens, Young's lounge-pop reinvention still sounds like a different number altogether."

Music video

A music video to accompany the release of "Come On," directed by Chris Sweeney, was first released onto YouTube on 24 October 2011 at a total length of three minutes and twenty-eight seconds.

The video features a young man and his pet at a dog talent show. The pair struggle through most of the rounds, much to the disapproval of the judges and crowd. Later the dog injures its leg during the obstacle course, which the owner attends to and carefully bandages, while a flashback plays of their long relationship since childhood. During the final round of the day, the pair surprised the audience by performing acrobatics and a coordinated dance, causing the crowd to cheer.
