At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average score out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 54, based on 6 reviews, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[10]

Jordan Sargent of Pitchfork gave the album a 3.0 out of 10, writing, "An album of original productions was a logical next step for a group that's been slowly easing its way out of mashup purgatory for years, but FEAT makes it clear that the Hood Internet were not ready."[15] Meanwhile, Amanda Koellner of Consequence of Sound wrote, "It's doubtful that the duo will ever stop mashing up, but it's a damn good time watching them try something new."[12]

Greg Kot of Chicago Tribune placed it at number 3 on the "Top Chicago Indie Albums" year-end list.[16]
