The tour consisted of only one leg, which encompassed a three-month-long series of performances that visited cities throughout the United States and Canada.

Stefani recruited hip hop group The Black Eyed Peas, rapper M.I.A., and singer Ciara to accompany her as opening acts for her endeavors.

[10][12][13][14] She appeared on stage wearing a tiara and baby doll outfit,[10] sitting in the red velvet and gold throne from the cover of the album.

[12] Stefani and the Harajuku Girls then left the stage to change into one-piece bathing suits while her band continued to play, before returning to perform "The Real Thing".

[14] Stefani changed outfits again into a pair of black hot pants to perform "Rich Girl", the album's second single,[13] while walking along a catwalk into the crowd and giving fans high-fives.

[14] "Wind It Up" was performed with a carnival vibe and "Orange County Girl" was accompanied by a video montage of childhood photos of Stefani and images of items mentioned in the song.

Patrick MacDonald of the Seattle Times, while applauding Stefani's song-writing efforts and the show's "frothy fun" antics, reprimanded the singer's dancing and limited material, given that she performed only twelve songs from Love.

[17] In regards to the musical selection, MacDonald concluded that half the songs are "eminently forgettable",[17] a view echoed by Winnipeg Sun columnist Rob Williams, who described some of the album tracks as "filler".

"She is an extremely striking figure and the choreography, light show, backup dancers and frequent costume changes all added to the spectacle, which ended up being more style than substance.

Mike Ross of the Edmonton Sun was impressed with Stefani's ability to engage the audience, a quality that earned her the description of the "effervescent hostess" from the journalist.

In his four star review for the concert, he commended the "swell" music and "amazing" choreography; "It also had merit as a choreographic tour-de-force—thanks in large part to a quartet each of talented dancing geisha girls and B-boys", remarked Ross.

[14] MTV's Corey Moss compared Stefani's performance to Madonna with regard to "the eight costume changes to the dancers to the theatrics to, hell, even the music itself" and avouched that she sounded completely different from how she did with No Doubt.

Moss asserted that the No Doubt lead vocalist was the "most captivating thing onstage" with her "confident strut and dead-on vocals".

[12] Jon Pareles of The New York Times admired the "glamour and groove" antics of the show and how Stefani "flaunt[ed] the perks of stardom".

[15] Jim Harrison of LiveDaily affirmed that the tour lacked a strong musical setlist, and also felt that Stefani's stage presence was absent.

Furthermore, the SoundSpike writer thought that her performance was akin to that of fellow American recording artist Britney Spears, which was "utterly unsuitable for both the song selection and her style".

[16] Stefani's performance in late November 2005 in her home town of Anaheim, California was recorded and released on DVD as a video album Harajuku Lovers Live.

and two new songs from her second studio album, The Sweet Escape, as well as interviews with the musicians and dancers and a documentary of tour preparation.

Reviewers praised Stefani's musical performances and stage presence, but criticizing the lack of material and the long costume changes.
