The tour was received well by Lynne Robertson of
The Herald, who described it as "one of the best all-round live shows of 1998" and noted that Barlow "appeared entirely at home as the man in the spotlight, demonstrating a humble and wholly likable stage persona during the 90-minute show which clearly illustrated his immense musical talents, encompassing soul, pop and rock roots with a tinkling of jazz thrown in for good measure." Writing for
The Scotsman,
Gareth McLean likened the show to "being at a really bad wedding." McLean, however, noted that Barlow's "charmlessness and bland tunes" did not seem to bother the crowd. ==References==
