Critical reception Juliana George of Boston.com, who attended the show at the MGM Music Hall at Fenway, concluded that, "Of course, the night ended how the summer began: with a high-energy, provocative rendition of "Nasty" that everyone could sing along to". Reviewing the Chicago stop at the Aragon Ballroom, Britt Julious from the Chicago Tribune praised the show as "a tightly constructed, visually sumptuous hour-long set", suggesting that the performance "felt, at times, designed to get audiences in and out of the venue" with some songs moving too quickly to fully resonate. Nonetheless, he concluded that the concert was "so great and fun that it made me want more". Joey Guerra of the Houston Chronicle, who attended the show at the Bayou Music Center, noted that Tinashe "commands it all with ease. She locks in effortlessly with her dancers and knows when to make it all about her. If everyone else would just catch up, she'd have the rest of the girls on high alert". Sean Thomas of the Houston Press, who also attended the show at the Bayou Music Center, noted that it "featured all of Tinashe's latest hits, including "No Broke Boys," "All my Friends" and a ton of dancing. She thanked her fans for sharing their energy with her and blew them all kisses on the way out". Monowara Hossain of Mxdwn, who attended the show at Greek Theatre, noted that Tinashe's voice "was a magnificent showcase of her talent and charisma. With her powerful voice, dynamic choreography, and genuine connection with the audience, she demonstrated why she is a standout artist in today's music scene."
