Critical reception[edit]
David Rishty of Billboard magazine wrote: "In true Galantis fashion, their latest output embraces warm pads, bright percussion and soaring vocals that confidently skate between dance and pop." Natalie Rao of This Song Is Sick wrote: "'True Feeling' draws you in from the first note with a subdued, tropical-style lead-in. The lyrics pair well with the steady build of the production, breaking into a lighthearted drop that ties together tropical notes, upbeat percussion and smooth vocals."[4] Matthew Meadow of YourEDM regarded the song as "a bouncy and vocal-driven melody" and is "EDM pop at its purest".[2] Steph Evans of Earmilk described the song as "infectious".[5] Lisa-sun Nguyen of EDM Identity wrote: "The track captures the essence of Galantis with crisp vocals and a fun-loving sound."[6] Rajrishi Murthi of the Bangin Beats wrote: "Mesmerizing male vocals take over the proceedings before being joined by airy chords which dominate the breaks. With a subtle percussive work on offer, the buildup leaves us to the climax with a playful, bouncy lead fit for the ongoing summer season."[7]
