Feel Good Together was met with universal acclaim from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 71 based on four reviews.[1]
David C. Obenour of Under the Radar praised the album, calling it "a bonafide indie rock, shoegaze venture, but with a real knack for melodies and, well... rhythm".[6] Stephen Deusner of Pitchfork stated: "despite the band name, the album is a guitar-driven record, relying primarily on Stillman's dexterous fretwork to lead the quintet in and out of geometric jams that sound vaguely prog-metal in origin".[2] Andrew Winistorfer of Prefix wrote: "together, which was recorded during a period of lengthy down time for all parties earlier this year, is the sound of five guys bro-ing down, drinking beers and recording an album. It's not the deepest thing ever recorded, but it is a fun little record that bears no pretense of seriousness".[3]
In his mixed review for Rolling Stone, Will Hermes concluded: "the echoey vocals recall Nineties shoegazers like Ride, and the instrumental breaks suggest quality time has been spent with Pavement's Slanted and Enchanted".[4]
