      Background


      "Come Over" was written by Evans, Floyd Howard, Sean Combs and Chucky Thompson and produced by Combs and Thompson for her debut studio album Faith (1995). The song was initially supposed to be an interlude. However, Evans insisted it should be made into a full track. Commenting on their decision to enhance "Come Over," Thompson told Soul Culture in 2014: "This song started out as an interlude because I felt that Faith’s whole vibe was straight from the church. She used to sit with me and play records from The Clark Sisters. I just felt that altar call vibe and sensation with her whenever we were together in the studio working. The song came out as combination of gospel and Guy-like influences from the R&B side of things."


      Critical reception


      In his July 1996 review for Billboard, Larry Flick noted that "Come Over" proves that there was "no lack of single choices from [Evans'] sterling [debut album]. Actually, this may prove to be set's biggest and best offering to date. Evans comes on like a baby Gladys Knight, wailing over the track's languid and soulful hip hop groove. The song's smooth and harmonious chorus is a lovely icing to verses that ooze with warmth and romance. A must-hear for pop, R&B, and even AC radio listeners."
