Critical reception

edit

Ed Power of The Telegraph rated the show in Dublin four out of five stars and called it as "a valiant and warm-hearted attempt to connect with their crowd".[3] Reviewing the show in London, Laura Abernethy of Metro rated the show three out of five stars and praised the "ambitious" staging but criticized the set list, noting it "a bit disconnected".[4]

A.D. Amorosi of Variety reviewed the show in Philadelphia and called it "epic" and "earthen".[5] Jeffrey B. Remz of Country Standard Time called the show in Boston as it "was far more up to snuff, albeit not perfect".[6] Jim Shahen Jr. of Times Union highlighted the performance of "I Will Wait", noting it "sent the folks home happy".[7] Jordan Zivitz of Montreal Gazette noted the band's intention on "preserving the intimacy of early shows" and noted that "the vote of confidence in their present was just as crucial as celebrations of their past."[8] Chris Racic of CleveRock praised the stage-in-the-round, noted that it successfully provided "a feeling of intimacy".[9] Reviewing the show in Lexington, Carly Necessary of The Cardinal Spirit noted that their "energetic and lively aura was easily recognizable" and described it an "exhilarating" concert.[10]
