"[1] In an interview for What's On magazine in December 2015, Lewis revealed that she had originally planned for the tour to be longer, but decided to shorten it in order to spend time with family and friends and start writing songs for her sixth studio album sooner.
With the tour featuring just two background vocalists and a four-piece band, Barr wrote that it was "so refreshing to see an artist on stage just loving the music".
Although Caffery wrote that "Run", "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face", "Ave Maria", and "A Moment Like This" – the last of which he described as "cheesy" – were to be expected, as Lewis had recorded them for previous albums.
He concluded by writing: "There was enough evidence to suggest Leona is capable of staging an utterly mesmerising show from start to finish – just not this time".
[10] In a review of Lewis' performance at the London Palladium on 5 March, William J Connolly of Gay Times praised the singer's openness regarding her personal and private life throughout the show, which gave the audience an insight as to "why she's remained quiet in previous months and why, as we all love, each album is full of emotion and honesty".
[11] Emma Noye of the Ipswich Star wrote that despite there being some Americanisms in the show, such as "horse-riding, beach-walking backing visuals with a voiceover talking about the 'journey' she's been on", Lewis' voice was "indisputably fantastic".
[12] In her review of the concert at the Plymouth Pavilions, Caroline Abbott of the Torquay Herald Express praised Lewis for her interaction with the crowd and her "down-to-earth" persona, as well as her performances of "Ave Maria", "Thank You", and "Sisters Are Doin' It for Themselves", a duet with the special guest Joss Stone.
Abbott wrote that her "only real criticism" of the performance was for the stage production, which she described as "five strips of giant toilet paper hanging at the back, occasionally changing colour, and spaced a little too far apart to make for easy viewing of the video footage of Leona explaining why her music is so important to her".
