Joe Hoffman of The Upcoming gave 5 out of 5 stars for the show saying "He is an unbelievable musical talent, and he did not fail to bring it all to a sold out show last night at Shepherd’s Bush Empire" and "Cardle’s voice is incredible, with a falsetto that can send shivers down your spine." [2] Ann Clarkson from Native Monster gave it a favourable review saying "The vocals sounded effortless, which is a hard trick to pull off when you have a massive four-octave range and use most of that during one evening."
