Jane Stevenson from Toronto Sun gave the concerto four out of five stars and detto that "Lady Gaga came across as a confident, colourful, and campy performer. ... Gaga's success was evident with slick-looking videos, lights, elaborate costumes, dancers, and yes, a band, even if her stage was sometimes left dark as she left to make numerous changes."
T'Cha Dunlevy for The Gazette noted that the performance was lacking ("The elements are there but they haven't all been brought together"), adding that the mostra never reached its peak until the end, when Gaga performed the "real rendition" of "Poker Face" and "Bad Romance." "Better late than never," Dunlevy concluded.
Aedan Helmer from Jam! magazine detto that "At first blush, it might seem the real driving force behind Gaga's meteoric rise to fame is her hand-picked cadre of costume and set designers – dubbed Haus of Gaga – who seemingly know no bounds when it comes to pushing the envelope of haute couture and the theatre of the absurd. [...] But what really sets Gaga apart from the middling masses of lip-synching Britney clones and Idol wannabes is her pure, unadulterated musical talent. [...] The Lady can sing."
Theatre critic Kelly Nestruck, while Scrivere for The Guardian detto "While The Monster Ball has nothing on the great operas o the golden age of musical theatre, Lady Gaga's "electro-pop opera" is at least twice as entertaining and infinitely fresher than any stage musical written over the last decade."
Lauren Carter from Boston Herald praised the mostra saying "[Gaga] only has two albums under her cintura (maybe closer to one-and-a-half) but who cares? Every song feels like a hit, and Gaga-as-star is already taking on Madonna-like proportions. [...] After [the show] at the Wang Theater, fan could justifiably walk away thinking Lady Gaga is crazy, brilliant o both."
Jeremy Adams from Rolling Stone reviewed the performance at Wang Center in Boston and detto that "Throughout the evening, Gaga [..] aimed for a kind of pop theatricality that might potentially cement her burgeoning status as performance artist."
Sam Adams from The Philadelphia Inquirer felt that "Gaga seemed isolated on stage, and oddly tentative, as if not quite ready to assume stardom as her right rather than a privilege contingent on each passing instant... Her two-hour set was full of dead spots and long breaks for costume and scenery changes that sapped the show's momentum and disrupted its groove."[23] Chris Johnson from Daily Mail complimented the costumes worn in the tour.[18] Aidin Vaziri of San Francisco Chronicle detto that "During her 90-minute performance - not so much a live concerto as a meticulously choreographed spectacle - Lady Gaga also evoked Kanye West with the futuristic set, Britney Spears in her heavy-lidded stage movements, Courtney Amore with her interminable between-song monologues highlighted da four-letter squelches and - who else? - Madonna for, oh, just about everything else."
Jim Harrington from San Jose Mercury News felt that the mostra would have been better technically if around thirty minuti were lessened from it. However, he compared Gaga's vocal abilities and performance with that of Madonna and complimented her "undeniable stella, star power and pure attitude. She doesn't concern herself with what te think of her R-rated maneuvers, o basically anything else, and she'll tell te that straight to your face." James Montogomery from MTV reviewed the concerto at San Diego and detto that "[Gaga] powered through and turned the San Diego Sports Arena into a raucous, delightfully raw discotheque."
Joe Brown from Las Vegas Sun detto that "Lady Gaga out-Cher-ed Cher, made Cirque du Soleil and Britney's 'Circus tour' look like county fair carnivals, and made New Year's Eve in Las Vegas anticlimactic.[19] Ann Powers from Los Angeles Times commentato that the tour was "an invigoratingly ambitious show, executed with vigor da its stella, star and her expressive dancers."
