Reception

LGN music critics liked the world tour and especially recognised Eric Clapton's guitar tone throughout the whole Journeyman World Tour, stating: "this period saw a resurrection of Clapton going back to basics. The tones he captured during this era are really amazing. [...] Eric was mainly using a Soldano SLO-100 amp head giving him a very saturated blues tone".{{cite web|url=http://www.learningguitarnow.com/blog/tone/eric-clapton|title=The Many Tones of Eric Clapton|publisher=LGN Music|access-date=August 30, 2015}} Fellow guitar slinger Joe Bonamassa recalled a great Journeyman show, he saw as a teenager and also liked the way Eric Clapton made things sound at the time, calling Eric Clapton's Journeyman tone "one of the best tones Clapton has ever had".{{cite web|url=http://thepickupradio.com/top-5-strat-masters-4/|title=Top 5 Strat Masters|publisher=The Pickup Radio Show|first=Joe|last=Bonamassa|access-date=August 30, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160501115037/http://thepickupradio.com/top-5-strat-masters-4/|archive-date=May 1, 2016|url-status=dead}}
