By the end of the first day of release, Be Here Now sold 424,000 units and by the end of business on Saturday of that week sales had reached 696,000, making it the fastest-selling album in British history.[42] The album debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 in the US, but its first week sales of 152,000—below expected sales of 400,000 copies—were considered a disappointment.[43] Although early media reviews were positive, once the hype had died down, the album was criticised for being bloated and derivative with most of the critics focused on the extensive length of several songs, the heavier sound, and overproduction. By this time the Britpop movement was in decline, and the band had failed to meet expectations with their third album. After the conclusion of the Be Here Now Tour in early 1998, amidst much media criticism the group kept a low profile.

Lopulta yhdeksi koko vuosikymmenen odotetuimmista albumeista muodostunut Be Here Now julkaistiin elokuussa. Albumia myytiin jo sen julkaisupäivän aikana yli 350 000 kappaletta, ja siitä tuli Britannian levynmyynnin historian nopeiten myynyt albumi.[34] Yhdysvalloissa albumi oli Billboard 200 -listan toinen, mutta sen ensimmäisen viikon 152 000 kappaleen myyntimäärä koettiin pettymykseksi. Oasiksen kahden ensimmäisen studioalbumin menestyksen vanavedessä myös Be Here Now sai julkaisunsa aikaan positiivisen vastaanoton.
