Beach House 3 was met with generally positive reviews. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from professional publications, the album received an average score of 77, based on eight reviews.[13]

Andy Kellman of AllMusic gave a positive review, stating "Peeling away the factors that obscure Griffin's talent—the vulgar hedonism, the cavalcade of predominantly superfluous guest artists—can take some effort. Beach House III is nonetheless conclusive evidence that the singer, rapper, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist is among the most skilled and creative figures in the business".[14] Corrigan B of Tiny Mix Tapes said, "Beach House 3 is a strong, strong effort: universally pleasant in the same way as its antecedents, but given a thorough sonic update so as to keep pace with modernity".[21] Riley Wallace of HipHopDX considered the album an improvement to Ty Dolla Sign's preceding project Campaign, stating Beach House 3 is "a great listen. Where Campaign (though dope) may have lacked some serious earworm moments, this album picks up the remaining tab — with change to spare. Even with nothing to truly prove, Ty Dolla $ign managed to once again assert dominance in an overcrowded lane of crooners who get likened to rappers".[16] Scott Glaysher of XXL wrote positively, "Beach House 3 truly is Ty Dolla $ign's best work to date. He manages to please with his collaborative hits and hooks all while maintaining artistic integrity with his more introspective tracks".[23]

Clayton Purdom of The A.V. Club said, "While 2015's Free TC felt designed to impress, a little too encyclopedic and earnest for its own good, Beach House 3 takes its concept literally, soundtracking a hypothetical bender in a paradise where the comedown never arrives".[15] Paul A. Thompson of Pitchfork noted, "A superbly refined collection of songs, carefully crafted and smartly cast. It doesn't have the longer thematic crescendos of TC, but is even more ruthlessly listenable, stacking hooks on top of hooks and flitting between an array different, pop-viable aesthetic frameworks".[20] In a mixed review, NME's Jordan Bassett stated: "Lyrically, Beach House 3 is a step away from the musician's satin-sheeted comfort zone, but we may have to wait for Beach House 4 to see him truly come of age."[18] In a more mixed review, Ben Beaumont-Thomas of The Observer described the album as "a narrow, unimaginative collection".[19]
