) writes despite Dion's nerves, she was able to pull off a successful concert. He continues, "For pure entertainment, however, this was a volcanic triumph. Dion thanked Boston fans for being "lucky charm people"; this was the third time she opened a world tour here. This was the biggest, for Queen Celine now reigns".
At The Arena in Oakland, James Sullivan (San Francisco Chronicle
) felt the night showed off Dion's prowess as a performer. He elaborated, "Easily the best part of the 80-minute set came when Dion summoned her band to center stage, where they sat on the lip of the riser as she essayed a medley of some favorite songs. Roberta Flack's
'The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face', the Beatles'
'Pet Sounds'-inspired 'Because' and Eric Clapton's
'Tears in Heaven' were all delivered with tender care—no small feat in a basketball gym. Even Sinatra's
'All the Way' steered clear of swagger, and the accordion gave all four songs a touch of Dion's romantic French-language roots".
Adam Sandler (Variety
) provided a positive review of Dion's concert at the Great Western Forum. He states, "To her credit, Celine Dion kept the vocal histrionics and hyper stage movements she has become known for to a minimum during her sold-out show Wednesday at the Forum, preferring instead to illustrate her evolution as an artist through singing prowess and a relaxed stage manner". Jane Stevenson (Jam! Music
) gave the singer's show at the new Air Canada Centre four out of five stars. She says, "But as the first song of the night, 'Let's Talk About Love', progressed, her nine-person band eventually rose up alongside her, while a children's choir later took the stage for the song's big ending".
