AllMusic editor Andy Kellman found "even though the members had a hand in co-writing roughly half the material, there's not much to differentiate this set from the first, apart from a slight increase in material best suited for clubs, which plays to the group's strengths. That said, three of the album's highlights are the typically midtempo and dreamily romantic Tim & Bob cuts, and the surprisingly effective Dream/Tricky Stewart knock-off ballad." Mark Edward Nero from About.com found that Forever in a Day was "sort of like a cake; it's topped by some sticky-sweet frosting, in this case radio-friendly pop songs that sit at the top of the album. But the real goodness isn't in the empty, calorie-rich stuff at the top, but in the cake's inner layers. To put it another way, the first handful of tracks on the album are disposable Auto Tune-heavy songs uptempo club that chase trends, while it's some of the latter, mid-tempo tracks that properly showcase the group's singing and rely less on studio gimmicks."

Forever in a Day debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200, selling 113,000 copies in its first-week of release, becoming the group's second top five album on the chart.{{cite web |url=http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/chart_watch/33072/week-ending-april-19-2009-shes-the-youngest-to-ever-do-it/ |title=Week Ending April 19, 2009: She's The Youngest To Ever Do It - Chart Watch |publisher=Yahoo!
