[7] Reviews of the 40 Years "Total Eclipse of the Heart" Tour were generally positive, but many critics noted that Tyler's setlist was short.
Clara Andersen of Berliner Morgenpost highlighted Tyler's versatile repertoire and ability to "convey strong messages with her distinctive voice".
[9] Jürgen Stahl of Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung similarly observed a "surprisingly large number" of young attendees at the RuhrCongress in Bochum.
He stated that Tyler's "brittle" voice added more intensity to her songs, and described her delivery of "Total Eclipse of the Heart" as "perfectly interpreted and staged".
[12] Following her performance at L'Olympia in Paris, Gaël Coulon of Pozzo Live stated that Tyler "doesn't run around as much as she used to and is somewhat diminished vocally", but added that she is still able to evoke nostalgia and draw standing ovations from the crowd.
