There are several reasons why an antenna tuner can be benificial on an
receiver as well as on a transmitter.
Probably the most siginificant is the ability to improve selectivity throug
another tuned stage -  given the amount of QRM around these days (especially
on 40, 20, & 15) this can be what you need to get that signal out of the noise.
The impedance match won't hurt you either but that's not too critical on
receiving (of course, that's why you want a tuner for your transmitter).
