Critical reception

Michael James Rocha of The San Diego Union-Tribune says that Paisley was "still crushin' it" and for his performance, "Vocally, he is solid, though there were moments Saturday when he seemed somewhat disengaged — as if he was merely going through the motions. But musically, when he was one with his guitar, it was magical." [3]
