For That Beautiful Feeling received a score of 81 out of 100 on review aggregator Metacritic based on nine critics' reviews, indicating "universal acclaim".[7] Uncut wrote that the Chemical Brothers "produce a whole lot of full-fat dance-pop joy" on the album.[5] Damien Morris of The Observer described it as a "nonsense-free reaffirmation of the dance duo's greatest strength – making largely instrumental psychedelic house and techno somehow sound like pop music".[17]
