I think it is extremely hard to tell, unless one has the skill to do an analysis and actually does look at the score. I am sure I cannot tell by listening.
E.g. of Berg's Lyric Suite (which is probably my favorite 12 tone /atonal piece) 3? of the 6 movements are 12 tone (e.g. the 1st, I do not remember the details) and the others are not. I am sure, I do not hear this as a salient difference.

Support from me for Schoenberg's 'A Survivor from Warsaw' - a very harrowing but powerful work.
"Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm" (Churchill).

'The test of a work of art is, in the end, our affection for it, not our ability to explain why it is good' (Stanley Kubrick).
