Bound for Glory received negative reviews by critics. Mike Johnson of PWInsider summarized Bound for Glory by writing that "Impact has their chance to make a statement but instead does the same old thing". This was referencing the "completely bullshit finish" of Alberto El Patrón's decisive interference in the "really, really good" Drake-Impact main event, which "was the same overbooked ending that we've seen in a ton of Impact main events dating back a decade plus" - despite those who were "blamed for these decisions in the past" (Vince Russo, Jeff Jarrett, or Dixie Carter) having left the company. Johnson felt this was a highly inappropriate way to treat "fans in a brand new market" and die-hard paying customers at Impact's "biggest show of the year."[9]

Jason Powell of Pro Wrestling Dot Net described Bound for Glory as "a poor show with few redeeming qualities ... the new creative regime made a lousy first impression". Regarding the main event, Powell criticized the "bush league TNA finish" and "a chair shot to the head in 2017".[10]

Mike McMahon of Pro Wrestling Torch wrote that Bound for Glory was "really bad ... 3/10 at most. There wasn't any matches that stood out as being great, and at the same time, a lot of it felt flat ... The booking on the show was below average, at best." Also, McMahon felt that it was "absolutely inexcusable to make El Patron the focal point of the company" given his "long history" of screwing up.[11]

Adam Martin of Wrestleview wrote that "Bound for Glory disappoints in Ottawa" and that "the pacing of the show was really bad".[12]

Larry Csonka of 411Mania rated the show a "bad" rating of 3/10. He wrote that although he wanted the show to be great, "highly questionable booking, some bad wrestling and mostly flat action with a crowd that died as the night went on" were reasons why the show failed to deliver. He would end his review stating "Nothing was special, nothing was memorable in a good way; this show failed its fans."[13]
