Composition

"Body 2 Body" is a hip hop mid-tempo that runs for 3 minutes and 55 seconds, exploring sexual themes.[1] The track features Hood's rapping on the first two verses, and an R&B hook and third verse sung by Chris Brown.[1]

Critical reception

edit

David Jeffries of AllMusic praised the track for its musicality and Chris Brown's performance, saying: "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] HipHopDX complimented Brown's singing on the track, but panned Ace Hood's verses on 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]
