Critical reception

[edit]

HipHopDX named it a highlight of Chixtape 5, saying: "the Chris Brown-assisted "The Take," an adaptation of Brown's "Take You Down," [turns] up the heat with Tory and Breezy showing excellent chemistry as they trade sultry bars, making for one of the best Collab efforts on the project".[4]
