Critical reception

edit

David Jeffries praised the track: "Cool pillow-talk tracks like “Body 2 Body” with Chris Brown and the J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League come off as crowd-pleasing interludes in an otherwise hungry album that takes the DJ Khaled style of Florida rap from penthouse to pavement."[1] Hip Hop DX panned the song: ""Body 2 Body" is almost a reprieve with its smoother sound, but with lines like “Was that Chanel 5? Very sexy fragrance / Are those your real eyes? Can tell you’re partially Asian,” no one will have cause to press rewind."[2]
