For the Moment (Chris Brown song)

Billboard praised the "rock aura" of the song, saying: "The vocal filtering in the hook and synths feels like he may have been listening to a bunch of old-school alternative bands. If that is the case, more of that — because it was very distinct and he executed it well in his own way. The bridge is especially enjoyable, too."^[1] Complex also complimented the track, defining it a "mid-tempo bop".^[2]
