Reception
[edit | edit source]Sarah Guppy from Tone Deaf called the song a "summery laid-back groove" adding "delightful crisp vocals and transient beats will have you hitting repeat on this funky tune."[2]
Mark Pytlik from Pitchfork said the song "is a clear departure from their early material, showcasing a newfound dedication to rhythm and restraint" concluding saying "'Is This How You Feel?' is a mid-tempo, feel-good, groove-based confection that explodes into one of the year's best choruses."[3]
