I Feel Cream received generally favorable reviews. The album holds a score of 74 out of 100 on the review aggregator website Metacritic.[12] The album was given four out of five stars by Heather Phares of Allmusic, saying that I Feel Cream has "plenty of moments that aren't groundbreaking, but still shows that Merill Nisker has a lot to say about sex, music, and pop culture nearly a decade after Teaches of Peaches was released."[13] In addition, Matthew Perpetua of Pitchfork Media opined, "whereas it was beginning to seem that Peaches' shtick was an artistic dead end, there is now plenty of reason to believe that she may have the skills and vision necessary to produce interesting, emotionally affecting work well beyond menopause."[14] Likewise, Eric Henderson of Slant Magazine wrote, "maybe age has softened Peaches a tad, but if I Feel Cream is the result, it sounds more compelling and radical than any number of new iterations of "sucking on my titties.[15] By contrast, Genevieve Koski of The A.V. Club gave the album an B-, commenting, "I Feel Cream feels subdued and safe, a less-than-inspiring move for an artist who made her name by being neither."[16]

Iguana Magazine placed I Feel Cream at number 141 on its Albums of Year 2009 list.[17] The Village Voice ranked it at number 277 on its list of the Top 600 Albums of 2009.[18]

SPIN listed the album at number six on its 20 Worst Album Titles of 2009 list, writing, "Keep it in your hot pants, Merrill, you're 42."[19]

Promotion

In Summer 2007, German band Sweet Machine was asked by Peaches to join her as her backing band for one show at the Berlin Festival. After this successful collaboration, Sweet Machine became her new full-time backing band. They performed together at the Exotic Erotic Ball 2007, the Hard New Years Eve 2007 and also joined her New Zealand/Australia tour in 2008. In 2009, they teamed up again for a Peaches' I Feel Cream tour. Peaches and Sweet Machine also toured as part of the festivals Festival Internacional de Benicàssim[28] and Get Loaded In The Park in August 2009.[29] In 2010, Peaches and Sweet Machine once again toured Australia performing at the sold out Big Day Out festivals and at a series of sideshows. Peaches was supported on this tour by Shunda K who performed their collaboration "Billionaire", and was also the opening act.[30]

On November 6, 2009, Peaches appeared on the Last Call with Carson Daly. She performed the song "Talk to Me".[31]

To promote I Feel Cream, Peaches released a music video for every song from the album. Musical group SSION directed and starred in a Wizard of Oz-themed video for "Billionaire" that also features Shunda K of Yo Majesty.[32] The video for "Show Stopper" was directed by Caroline Sascha Cogez, and stars Danish film actress Charlotte Munck.[33] In the video, Peaches references and sings a snippet of Nina Hagen's song "New York / N.Y."

"Mud" was used in The Vampire Diaries episode "The Night of the Comet"[34] and "Show Stopper" was featured in the Gossip Girl episode "How to Succeed in Bassness".[35]
