David Jeffries of AllMusic wrote that "Long a cross between Brian McKnight and R. Kelly, R&B's smooth – but chiseled – operator Tank tips the scales toward the [Kelly] side on his 2012 release, filling the album with dreamy, lush productions and 'adults-only' lyrics that sometimes reach the level of 'shameful adults only'." PopMatters editor David Amidon found that This Is How I Feel "clocks in as Tank’s shortest project yet at just ten tracks and 40 minutes, but somehow it still manages to be something of a trial to get through [...] If you’re just an unabashed fan of male R&B vocals, or the sight of Tank’s pecs on the cover has some sort of brainwashing effect on you, This Is How I Feel might be worth a few cursory spins on Spotify or what have you, but otherwise this is a release that will come and go with very little fanfare."

This Is How I Feel sold 30,000 copies in its first week of release.{{cite web |url=http://www.sohh.com/2012/05/tanks_this_is_how_i_feel_first-week_sale.html |title=Tank's "This Is How I Feel" First-Week Sales Projections Revealed {{!}} SOHH.COM |website=www.sohh.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120513091352/http://www.sohh.com/2012/05/tanks_this_is_how_i_feel_first-week_sale.html |archive-date=2012-05-13}}
