You mean,   you can not see any received packets at all?  Not even ACKs?

Well,   If you see an outgoing TCP segment carrying payload data
and if the TCP session is still alive after a couple of seconds
and if that data has not been retransmitted after a few seconds,

then it is fairly likely that the reason you did not see a TCP
retransmission is because the other side ACKed the data,  ergo   the
data was received properly on the other side.
