[1] In an interview with the News of the World's Dan Wootton, Gaudino spoke of how amazing it was to work with Rowland on the song: "Kelly's an amazing artist, so down to earth, nice and fierce[...]Talking to [her] you feel on the same level whoever you are." [2] Rowland replied, during an interview on the video shoot, to questions about what it was like working with Gaudino. She said "I'm so excited to be collaborating together for the first time. He is the nicest person and so talented." [3]
Loretta Charlton from Black Entertainment Television (BET) agreed, saying that "What a Feeling" "is a vibrant track that will draw many summer party people to the dance floor." [4] Digital Spy's Robert Copsey praised Rowland's vocals on the song, calling them "emotionally-charged." [5] Copsey also compared the song's marriage of its "pulsating synths and a vibrant piano hook" to the radio-friendly appeal of David Guetta and Rowland's 2009 hit collaboration, " When Love Takes Over."
