In 1992, Come released its debut album, "", on Matador Records. "11:11" received acclaim from both the independent and established media, with David Browne, from Entertainment Weekly, characterizing it as "enthralling, like watching someone howl into a rainstorm." After the release of "11:11," Brokaw left Codeine, devoting himself full-time to Come. Already after the release of the debut album, Come received praise from Dinosaur Jr.'s lead singer J. Mascis, Hüsker Dü's Bob Mould, and Nirvana's frontman Kurt Cobain, among many others, with Indigo Girls' Amy Ray lauding Zedek's voice, describing it as an "old Marlene Dietrich film" and Math rock band Chavez's guitarist Matt Sweeney characterizing Come as 'mind-blowing and one of the best bands ever.' Likewise, New York City alternative rock band Cell guitarist Jerry DiRienzo has stated that "Come is more rock-rooted Zedek's previous projects. Their writing is great; their music bridges the masculine and feminine," concluding that Come are his "favorite band."
