Andrew Leahey of [[AllMusic]] wrote that "it features 23 songs, including most of the show’s biggest hits. It spotlights the entire cast, from heavy hitters to newcomers to tangential characters. And above all else, it sounds perfect; every note is hit, every harmony flawlessly sung, every a cappella section meticulously executed." He felt that the [[auto-tuning]] was the biggest problem with Glee's regular soundtracks, but criticised the lip syncing as it was "impossible to tell which parts are performed and which are piped in". He concluded the review, writing "If you aren’t a fan of Glee’s cheesy, “follow your dreams!!" gusto, then you have no business listening to ''The 3D Concert Movie'', which often feels like the stage adaptation of an afternoon special. If you’re a Gleek, though, you probably realize the best way to enjoy any Glee album—or any episode, for that matter—is to suspend your disbelief and simply enjoy these sugary pop songs, whether they’re the product of a single performance in East Rutherford, New Jersey (the setting for this soundtrack and its accompanying film) or a hybrid of live vocals, studio overdubs, and canned harmonies."<ref name="allmusic">{{cite web |last=Leahey |first=Andrew |title=Review {{ndash}} Glee: The 3D Concert Movie |url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/glee-the-3d-concert-movie-mw0002189775 |access-date=August 2, 2011 |website=[[AllMusic]] |publisher=[[Rovi Corporation]]}}</ref>
Stephen Holden of ''[[The New York Times]]'' wrote "The movie’s roughly 20 songs are a pleasant whoosh of beat-driven production numbers acrobatically choreographed by Zach Woodlee and musically supervised by P. J. Bloom. The elaborate arrangements mash musical genres into a slick pastiche performed by singers whose vocal quirks have been meticulously ironed out."<ref>{{Cite news |last=Holden |first=Stephen |date=August 11, 2011 |title=A Tutorial on Tolerance, With Beats and Upbeats |language=en-US |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/12/movies/glee-the-3d-concert-movie-review.html |access-date=2023-04-24 |issn=0362-4331}}</ref>
