Predominately visiting amphitheaters in North America, the tour supported the band's fifth studio album, Lovers Rock.

Corey Moss (MTV News) writes, "Unlike Madonna and Janet Jackson, the other pop divas on tour this summer, Sade doesn't overly decorate her tunes with costumes and choreography".

She explains, "What else would you expect from a singer who was the epitome of cool way back in 1984 with the release of her debut album and has barely changed her trademark laid-back, jazz-inflected R&B grooves or classic ponytail and hoop earrings look since then"?

[8] Issac Guzman (New York Daily News) mentioned the band displayed a passion for music and their fans.

This relationship, of course, is best constructed in a vaguely exotic milieu where people rendezvous in small cafes on the French Riviera or dance on the veranda of a private villa stocked with Champagne".

[19] Jon Pareles (The New York Times) writes the band displayed various emotions throughout the show at the famous Madison Square Garden.

He continues, "Sade still sang with the pauses and hesitations she learned from [Billie] Holiday, but every so often when she reached a confession of great pain or joy, she dispelled the smoke in her voice to reveal a pure, indelible ache.
