Critical reception

Jerry Wofford of Tulsa World says that Aldean "started off strong, with lots of fire and pyrotechnics". The show went on to say that the show had a rock concert vibe and only Aldean's voice and the slide guitar were the only hits of a traditional country show. He did a good job with "mixing his sound and styles throughout his set, and a good job of mixing in songs from each of his six albums". Wofford went on to say that "Aldean knows how to put on a huge show."
