For an album mostly preoccupied with cataloguing past relationships and the mistakes that did them in, it follows that Feel. Love. Thinking. Of. would manifest those feelings with nostalgic sounds, some welcome, others less so.
-
Feel. Love. Thinking. Of. is a decent enough album as a whole that sometimes falters but features fine moments of brilliance when the Batke brothers filter out their cheesier influences.

Alternative PressIt's an engaging listen. [Mar 2009, p.107]
-
Under The RadarIts a gatewqay drug in the best way, remaining fully accessible to newbies, while still opening up and exploring the possibilities of the genre. [Winter 2009, p.71]

Edmonton’s the Faunts have livened up on the punctuation-happy Feel.Love.Thinking.Of., moving away from the floating dreamscape world of their filmic M4 EP.
-
Is Feel.Love.Thinking.Of. a textbook example of the “decent album that would have made a great EP”? Quite possibly.
-
The only thing repeated, however, is an unfortunate pattern: For Feel’s every plus, there’s a significant minus, such that listeners could actually buy the album’s even-numbered tracks, and skip all the odds.
-
Like all things retro, Faunts find themselves stuck between nostalgia and total recall, unable to determine the criticality of their appropriation.
