Reception A critic from The Hollywood Reporter wrote that "But ultimately 37: A Final Promise proves as awkward as its ungainly title". A critic from Variety wrote that "Although it slyly teases its audience with hints of paranormal activity in the early going, “37: A Final Promise” gradually emerges an old-fashioned tearjerker set to a goth-rock soundtrack". A critic from The New York Times wrote that "The film announces at the beginning that it was “inspired by actual events,” but it feels manipulative more often than genuine". A critic from Los Angeles Times wrote that "Based in part on the story of author-life coach-stylist-musician Guy Blews, the film “37: A Final Promise” comes off as a paranormal and schizophrenic take on a Lifetime movie with themes of terminal illness and assisted suicide".
