Upon its release, Beautiful Rewind received some critical acclaim. At Metacritic, the album has received a score of 79 out of 100, based on 18 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[7]

Killian Fox, writing for The Observer, described the album as "an (almost) unexpected pleasure".[12] Fact magazine's Tom Lea offered the opinion that "Beautiful Rewind feels like Four Tet coming full circle" before commenting that "no matter how grubby it gets, at the heart of it will always be one fact: Four Tet's forte is making Beautiful Music."[9] AllMusic reviewer Andy Kellman stated that "while the album does seem rather patched together with a lack of focus... there's an irrefutable charm to the restlessness."[8] In her review for Consequence of Sound, Paula Mejia was disappointed that "the tracks don't necessarily resonate as did the memorable, emotive singles that won over listeners' hearts to begin with on catalogue highlight Rounds".[18]
