"Feel This Moment" received generally positive reviews from
music critics. David Jeffries of
AllMusic picked the song as one of the album's standout tracks, calling it a "glorious disco explosion." Sarah Godfrey of
The Washington Post agreed, recommending the track, as one of the three best tracks on the album. Mikael Wood of
Los Angeles Times wrote that "it turns A-ha's '80s synth-pop curio 'Take On Me' into the stuff of a Las Vegas bachelorette bash." Jeremy Thomas of
411 Mania praised Aguilera's appearance, writing that she "adds some musical substance to Pitbull's style and makes for a track that, if not necessarily good, at least is very listenable." Sam Lanksy of
Idolator called it a "doozy," praising Aguilera's part, calling it a "memorable chorus," adding that the song "fares better than her yowling on
Chris Mann's cover of '
The Blower's Daughter.'" Nicolle Weeks of
4Music also enjoyed, writing: "This is actually quite a catchy tune to dance to and it boasts a sick hook. It doesn't feature any misogyny, which is nice." Julianne Escobedo Shepherd of
Spin wrote a mixed review, stating that "the Christina Aguilera collab should be a major crossover situation — she chips in a slightly cheesy,
Selena-alluding diva vocal combined with Miami-worthy sub-bass, but a-ha's 'Take On Me' hook played on a handsy techno synth overrides both vocalists." But an editorial writer from
Popjustice was negative towards both "Feel This Moment" and
will.i.am's song "
Scream & Shout" (2012), stating that what the "two songs represent is pop music writhing around in its own shit." == Chart performance ==
