[17] Michiel Vos of A Bit of Pop Music compared Petras' stage outfits and styling to "Lady Gaga's looks during her The Fame era" and attested that Petras looked "like an absolute star when dancing and posing". He further stated that Petras commands "a mesmerizing star quality" and would also hold her own vocally, even though oftentimes singing along to a backing track. [18] Writing for Atwood Magazine, Nicole Almeida also stressed Petras' star quality, calling the tour the "perfect demonstration of Petras' star power". She further referred to the concert as "more than a show", but a "visual representation of Kim Petras' career" and concluded that she witnessed "a night of transcendental joy, pride, celebration, and fun". [19] In his review of the first stop of the European leg, Alex Rigotti of Gigwise especially praised Petras' self-awareness in regards to "how ridiculous pop is".

Thus, he referred to act I as a representation of heartbreak from her debut record, Clarity , the second act as being representative of her Halloween-themed extended play (EP), Turn Off the Light, Vol. 1 , and the third act as being "about the ecstasy of falling in love from her Era 1 days". Even though the staging was "stripped down and simple", he declared it to be "effective" through "being fuelled by the charm of the singer feeling her fantasy". [20]
