Critical reception

All concerts were sold out.^[4] Reviews are unanimously positive.^[2][3][5] According to reviews, Reay energized and engaged tour concert audiences that were made up of "all ages and backgrounds" ^[3], with a sound that is "new to younger generations and nostalgic to older audiences", appealing to all.^[2]

A review of the show in Manchester by Adrenaline describes Reay's rendition of Unchained Melody as superbly controlled and loved by the crowd.^[3] A review of the same show by Northern Exposure refers to Reay's vocal prowess and his ability to connect with the musical heritage of the 1950s and 1960s, "drawing in fans with every note and lyric, creating an atmosphere that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly modern".^[5]

The venue in London is described by Rodeo as "cozy, quaint and warm," with fans transported to a bygone era by Reay’s vintage style and showmanship: “from the initial first note … the screams were deafening,” likened to a “prom scene in Grease”.^[2]

Reay's performance on stage is further described as "high on musicality with a respectful 50s vibe", captivating, and charismatic, with his voice called phenomenal, "like caramel", and likened to that of an angel.^[2][3][5]
