Critical reception
"Say It" received positive reviews from music critics. Rick Florino of Artistdirect said, "...the new track sees him confidently embrace this inimitable and infectious style. It's airy drip transfixes just before building into an undeniable refrain. Somewhere between The Weeknd's nocturnal decadence and Future's space ruckus, Tory Lanez rules supreme. It's ultimately enigmatic and engaging at every turn. However, you really just need to listen to it for yourself."

Tory revealed Kanye West's team reached out for the instrumental to record a remix of the song, but the remix has yet to be released.. Fifth Harmony's Normani Kordei also released a cover of the song.
