"Warm Embrace" is an R&B slow jam that contains an interpolation of Guy's 1991 single "Let's Chill".[4][5][6] According to Vibe the "romantic" content of the song "eases away from his recent trajectory of hyper-sexual music" being part of the crooner's "soft side".[7]
Vibe's reviewer Mya Abraham praised the track as "endearing", and stating that its sound is reminiscent of ’80s R&B.[7] Keithan Samuels of Rated R&B found the song to be "sweet-sounding".[6] HotNewHipHop called the song a "sensual slow jam", and complimented its "clever interpolation".[5]
The song's accompanying music video was released on June 21, 2022, and featured a cameo by American singer Normani. Additionally, it was directed by Arrad.[8][9]
