The Guardian gave the show in Glasgow a five-star review stating that the show, which celebrates his third album Harry's House (2022), was marked by an incredibly positive poptimism, without elaborate tricks, sophisticated choreography or pyrotechnics, just Styles' dazzling charisma, backed by a six-piece band and a catalog of music that crosses genres.

Numerous music events, including music festivals, concert tours, and award shows, have been cancelled or postponed.
