Reception
In a positive review for Korea Joongang Daily, Yoon Seung-jin wrote that the tour's Goyang opening stop was a "sonic masterpiece, showcasing Seventeen's impeccable musicianship and undeniable stage presence."Maria Mata reviewed the tour's New York stops for Melodic Magazine, describing the concerts as "electrifying" and commending the group's charisma and confidence. In a review for the San Francisco Chronicle, Todd Inoue remarked that the tour's first night in Oakland coincided with the 2024 United States presidential election, but the group immediately "assumed their roles as agents of relief". Inoue went on to describe the performance as having "flawless choreography" and an "impressive visual spectacle", but lamented the omission of fan-favorite songs such as "Hot" and "Don Quixote". Mary Siroky reviewed the final US stop of the tour in Los Angeles for Consequence, commenting on the almost-decade long career of the group and how the show demonstrated their bond, their repertoire and their journey to their first performance at a stadium in the US.
Nica Glorioso reviewed the tour's Bocaue stop for Nylon Manila. In her review, Glorioso noted the group's energy throughout the three hour set and the use of a live band for the encore as two of her thirteen highlights from the weekend. Reviewing their Singapore concert, Belinda Poh wrote for HallyuSG that the band is a "gift that never stops giving", serving up dark, powerful and edgy performances whilst showing off their softer charms. Jan Lee also reviewed the concert for The Straits Times, commending the group's development since their last show in the city in 2022. Lee cited a transition from "boisterous boys-next-door" to "bona fide superstars", that corresponded to the venue upgrade from 2022's show at Singapore Indoor Stadium to the much larger National Stadium.
