Brittany Spanos of Rolling Stone defined Styles' post-pandemic return to the stage at Madison Square Garden as triumphant. The concert, delayed by the pandemic, showcased Styles' electrifying performance and strong bond with fans eagerly awaiting the event. Spanos also highlighted that the show emphasized communal experiences and inclusive gestures, reinforcing Styles' message of kindness. She also noted that the encore, featuring "Kiwi" underscored Styles' rockstar charisma, leaving the audience excited and fully embracing his call for self-expression and celebration.^[23]

Jon Caramanica and Lindsay Zoladz of The New York Times attended Styles' 15-night residency at Madison Square Garden, examining how he wielded his star power and musical direction.

The Guardian gave the show in Glasgow a five-star review stating that the show, which celebrates his third album Harry's House (2022), was marked by an incredibly positive poptimism, without elaborate tricks, sophisticated choreography or pyrotechnics, just Styles' dazzling charisma, backed by a six-piece band and a catalog of music that crosses genres.^[25]

Will Richards of The Standard gave a four-star review of the show at Wembley Stadium in London, he stated that the atmosphere was marked by the exuberance of the fans, who dressed in vibrant colors and extravagant costumes. He also said the event was not just a concert, but a community celebration, where fans met in person for the first time and expressed support for each other, including with messages asking for help in coming out as gay. He stated that the show, although simple in terms of production, focused on fan interaction and celebrating authenticity.^[26]
