Feels Like received generally positive reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from professional publications, the album received an average score of 77, based on 19 reviews.[11] In his review for NME, Robert Cooke highlighted Alicia Bognanno's "honest, witty" songwriting and stated that Feels Like "revels in the simplicity of a great pop song while cleverly articulating the everyday truths of 20-something life".[3]Pitchfork's Laura Snapes noted the contrast between the "explosive, rollicking" music and Bognanno's lyrics, which Snapes felt displayed an intimacy comparable to that of "Courtney Barnett or Waxahatchee's Katie Crutchfield".[15] James Oldham of Q wrote that while Bully's heavy influence from 1990s alternative rock is apparent, the album "retains a thrilling freshness" due to Bognanno's "formidable presence", as well as her "taut, confessional" lyrics, whose directness he said complemented the music's "brutal succinctness".[16]
Michael Hann of The Guardian was less enthusiastic, describing Feels Like as "a grab-bag of early-90s alt-rock styles that sounded tired by the mid-90s – and haven't got any fresher since."[2]
