Rolling Stone sat down with him for an extensive profile and proclaimed, “Pheelz’s appeal as a producer lies in his ability to flip well-known sounds on their heads, introducing esoteric, obscure influences so that they sound familiar but also retain a particularity that only he can pull off.” About “Pheelz Like Summer,” Billboard also raved, “The sensual sax intro and buoyant beats evoke the warmer season, while Pheelz ushers in a season of love.”
