Who Can See Forever Soundtrack received a score of 74 out of 100 on review aggregator Metacritic based on four critics' reviews, indicating "generally favorable" reception.^[2] Tim Sendra of AllMusic called the live tracks "stirring versions" that sound "at once intimate and exploratory", writing that the band "proves fully adept at the hushed ballads that are Beam's trademark, but also can shoot out dramatic sparks".^[3] Uncut wrote that it "stands up fine as a live album in its own right",^[5] while Mojo felt that "'Grace for Saints and Ramblers', from 2013's Ghost on Ghost, is delivered with nonchalant Lou Reed rhythm; 2017's 'About a Bruise' displays a freewheeling agility, while 'The Trapeze Swinger' plays right into Beam's storytelling mode".^[4]
