Aguilera also cited Marilyn Monroe's classic musical number "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend" from the film Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953) as an alter ego, defining the message as "living out [the] fantasies on stage and deserving nothing but the best".

Mier also highlighted dancers, live sax and trumpet players, as well as her transition from a shimmering silver minidress into a dominatrix-style outfit to perform "You Don't Own Me" from atop a bed.

[14] Las Vegas Review-Journal author John Katsilometes said that "Aguilera's superb voice alone sets her apart", citing her "soaring performance" during "Beautiful" as one of the night's highlights alongside the dance troupe and full backing band.

[15] Em Jurbala of Las Vegas Magazine praised the residency, writing: "Almost as stunning as Aguilera's vocals and personality, the wardrobe for this show is chic, dynamic and fashionable".

[18] In an interview with Las Vegas Review-Journal, Voltaire's creator Michael Gruber stated, "[Her] shows were oversold [...] With the amount of interest and reviews, demand has increased substantially".
