Critical reception. "Dancing Astronaut" staff called "Forever" a melodical house collaboration. They described the song as "a well-rounded festival anthem, complete with and a dramatic organ introduction and a nostalgia-inducing melody". Kat Bein from "Billboard" wrote  that the song starts with "heart-aching chords on a church organ" and "heavy drums echo in over uplifting guitar".

According to the redaction of Catalan radio "", the intro reminds Garrix's previous song, "Pizza" but they noticed that "Pizza" has a more melodic and epic beginning.
