Critical reception

Reviewing for the opening night in Irving, Isabel Arcellana of Dallas Observer praised Sivan's stage presence and vocal performance but criticized the set that "could have been more original" and long breaks between wardrobe change.[9] Eric Webb of Austin360 called Sivan "held his arms open in a joyful celebration of queer identity and love" in his show in Austin.[10] Brittany Spanos of Rolling Stone praised Sivan for "carried himself well on stage, embodying the sweeping, changing emotions of each of his songs with grace".[11] Natalia Manzocco of Now rated the show in Toronto four out of five stars and called it "beautifully and explicitly queer".[12] While reviewing the show in Denver, Tyler Harvey of 303 Magazine praised the set list and called it "merged with emotional, daring and raw authenticity."[13] Olivia Khiel of Atlas Artist Group described the show in Phoenix a joy.[14] Reviewing the show in San Diego, Jahfreen Alam of The Guardian (UCSD) gave it a rate of B and called it "a celebration of youth, growing up and finding yourself".[15]

Rachel Bowles of The Skinny rated the show in Glasgow four of five stars and said Sivan "put his absolute all into forging those precious moments with the crowd."[16] Meliza Sestito of aAh! Magazine described the show in Manchester as "a positive and uplifting experience".[17] Writing for NME, Sophie Williams praised the show and called it as a "communal celebration of what it truly means to be young, queer and free."[18]
