Composition

The Independent described the track as an uptempo banjo house "stomper".[2]

"Take Me Back To Your House" is better still, a banjo-strewn folk-funk concoction which is surely destined to be remixed with a stomping house beat.

Critical reception

The Independent called the track "deliriously catchy."[2]

Robert Christgau chose the song as one of his favorite tracks from the album.[3]

Release

Ahead of their stadium tour in December 2006, the duo created a one night only residence at KOKO titled The Crazy Itch Club.

Music video

The music video for the song was directed by Dougal Wilson.

The video features Martina Sorbara and high stepping Cossacks and dancing bears.[2]

The Independent called the video "remarkable."[2]
