AllMusic[5]

Robyn Mowatt of Okayplayer said that "Take Time is one hell of a debut. It stands out amongst the auto-tuned, generic R&B music that many artists have become comfortable shelling out".[6]

Nerisha Penrose of Elle called the EP "a masterpiece" and said that "World We Created" is "the song I can't stop singing".[7]
