Critical reception

Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "Sophomore jinx? Not for this gifted young artist. Maxwell previews his hotly anticipated second set, "Embrya", with a sleek funk jam that expands upon the steamy romance of his debut—while revealing a far more confident and primal side of his personality. Within the song's richly textured arrangement, a slippery bassline glides over a rugged beat, supporting plush keyboards and swirling strings. There is no question that this single will flood R&B airwaves within seconds. Perhaps popsters would be wise to join the party a little earlier this time around."[2]
