Background
In an interview with Las Vegas Weekly, Ronson described the album as "definitely the best thing" he has ever made and the album he has worked the hardest on. He also agreed that the album contains "sad bangers", as those are the kinds of songs that have "emotional resonance" and that he was drawn to making during the writing and recording process.[9]
Critical reception
Late Night Feelings received generally positive reviews upon release. On Metacritic, the album has an average rating of 75/100, which indicates generally positive reviews.[10]
In a positive review, Yasmin Cowan of Clash said that the album, "might be a collection of "sad bangers" but this is a powerful - and empowering - project."[12] Though noting some flaws, Hannah Mylrea of NME called the album "bold, brilliant and genuinely interesting pop music."[10]
