Critical reception

The song was met with a generally positive reception. Robin Murray of Clash wrote that it seems to encapsulate the album's "over-the-top ambitions, while a feature from the late, great Takeoff is swathed in a sense of loss." [1] Slant Magazine 's Charles Lyons-Burt criticized the production, writing that "Metro is often just going about recycling what's worked on tracks that he's produced in the past" and regarding the song's pitched-up sample as reminiscent of his song "Runnin", but also commented that the song features "committed" performances from ASAP Rocky and Takeoff. [2] Mic Cheque's Hamza Riaz wrote in a review of Heroes & Villains, "There's no sensational beat that holds a candle to production like Without Warning 's "Rap Saved Me" or the layers of "Don't Come Out the House", citing "Feel the Fiyaaaah" as one of the "closest moments". [3] Wongo Okon of Uproxx wrote, "In totality, the flashy 'Feel The Fiyaaah' with ASAP Rocky and the late Takeoff exemplifies the album's brightest moments". [4] Complex 's Peter A. Berry praised the rappers' performances, writing that Rocky "laces throwback chipmunk soul with an off-kilter melody that works better than you think" and "On the same track, the late Takeoff cycles through much of the alphabet for a wordplay exhibition that will remind you of the massive talent that was lost after his tragic death last month."
