We show that data from homodyne-like detection based on photon-number-resolving (PNR) detectors may be effectively exploited to reconstruct quantum states of light using the tomographic reconstruction techniques originally developed for homodyne detection based on photodiodes. Our results open new perspectives to quantum state reconstruction, and pave the way to the use of PNR-based homodyne-like detectors in quantum information science.
