Composition

The songs beat is described as a "mellow R&B beat, blending atmospheric synths, deep bass, and slow, rhythmic percussion." Throughout the track slight variations in the instrumentation and layering, ambient synths and reverb-drenched textures ebb and flow, adding emotional depth and keeping the composition from feeling repetitive.[3]

"CN Tower" contain a sample from Lil Wayne and Static Major’s 2008 single, "Lollipop".[4]

Critical reception

The song received positive reviews. Billboard's Michael Saponara and Carl Lamarre ranked the song as the eighth best track on Some Sexy Songs 4 U.[5] Lamarre wrote "Drake's penchant for memorable intros continues with this one, as heartbreak enters the conversation for him and PND. The CN Tower, a symbol of Toronto, adds a local flavor to the song."[5]
