Critical reception

edit

The tour was praised by the media. Richy Rosario from Billboard went to the New York concert at Madison Square Garden and wrote that "[Romeo's] ability to keep viewers on the edge of their seats is overwhelmingly tangible, as his flawless vocals span for over two hours .... It's his prowess on stage and expert musicianship that have made him this generation's bachata legend."[2] Suzette Fernandez attended the Miami concert and wrote "Santos delivered an awe-inspiring set in a nearly three-hour spectacle that included many surprises, kiss battles and a display of his sense of humor".[8]

LatinTimes published an article titled "6 Reasons Why You Should Go To Bachata King's Concert" and said that "attending a Romeo concert is really an experience that you have to live. Not only because of the good Latin vibe that is felt in the environment, but also because of the lights and scenery, plus the opportunity to enjoy him singing completely live".[9][10] Music Connection reviewed the concert at the Forum in Inglewood, and wrote that "the bachata superstar Romeo Santos mesmerized his loyal fans with many of his hits songs old and new".[11]
