The album debuted at number 3 on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling around 60,000 copies in its first week, making the album one of the highest charting post-hardcore albums of all time.[5][6][7] It has sold 180,000 copies in the US as of March 2015.[8] The album also debuted at number 36 on UK Albums Chart[9] and number 14 on Australian Albums Chart.[10] It is the final album to feature rhythm guitarist Jesse Lawson after his departure from the band later in 2013.[11]

Feel received generally positive reviews from music critics. Gregory Heaney of AllMusic commented that "the talented vocal of Kellin Quinn making an album like Feel a shining light in an increasingly homogenized post-hardcore landscape."[12] Scott Heisel of Alternative Press stated "while the collaboration with MGK gels perfectly and could totally be a crossover smash, the collaboration with Memphis May Fire’s Matty Mullins is misguided" and continued "still, the good more than outweighs the bad, and as a whole, Feel is a big step up."[13]
