Both the digipack and vinyl editions of the album case can be unfolded to form a model of a house (with either red or green walls).

A poster of an un-kept lawn to place the house on and a "postcard from 1952" with the track listing was included also.

The album mostly received positive reviews from critics, peaking at #81 on the iTunes Store.

[1] Gregory Heaney of AllMusic compliments the album, saying "it feels as though Explosions in the Sky have developed an even greater sense of patience, allowing songs to build up more intricately without rushing their way into a huge moment of distortion-filled catharsis.

"[2] Kevin Liedel of Slant Magazine gave it a 3 out of 5, saying "In the end, the Texas band can't help but eventually indulge their desire to produce epic, guitar-driven film-score material, and after some initial feints into other territory, Take Care is business as usual.
