Critical reception

Issy Sampson of The Guardian chose the song as the best track of the week, writing that, "its playlist-friendly trap sound is mildly panic-inducing, like taking speed and then being told you have to go on live TV and explain the intricacies of Middle Eastern politics RIGHT NOW and is it OK if you do it in just your pants?".[3]

Remix

On February 3, 2015, the pair announced that they would be working with Missy Elliott on a remix to "Take Ü There".[4]
