The tour received great reviews with its initial shows in Canada. For the concert at the Scotiabank Saddledome, Gerry Krochak (Calgary Sun) gave the show four out of five stars. He wrote, "The love and respect that fans have for the Dixie Chicks has been well earned — every step of the non-traditional way. It’s been seven years since the group released anything new, but here’s hoping [...]".{{cite web |url=http://www.calgarysun.com/2013/11/01/that-was--wow--dixie-chicks-rock-the-scotiabank-saddledome-in-stampede-make-up-show |title=That was ... wow — Dixie Chicks rock the Scotiabank Saddledome in Stampede make-up show|author=Krochak, Gerry |date=31 October 2013 |work=Calgary Sun |publisher=Quebecor |accessdate=23 November 2013|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131103195501/http://www.calgarysun.com/2013/11/01/that-was--wow--dixie-chicks-rock-the-scotiabank-saddledome-in-stampede-make-up-show |url-status=dead |archivedate=3 November 2013}} In Winnipeg, Elisha Dacey (Metro News) gave the show three and a half out of five stars. She says, "Mayor jokes aside, the show was a stripped-down and laid back retrospective of the Chicks’ past four albums. It took a while before Maine’s voice was truly warmed up and settled down, but she proved her distinctive country voice was more than the warm alto early fans may be used to".{{cite web |url=http://metronews.ca/news/winnipeg/845935/the-dixie-chicks-bring-it-home-at-the-mts-centre-in-winnipeg/ |title=Review: Dixie Chicks take the long way around (and a shot at Rob Ford)|author=Dacey, Elisha |date=5 November 2013 |work=Metro News |publisher=Free Daily News Group Inc. |accessdate=23 November 2013|archiveurl=http://www.freezepage.com/1385193370JMCNKEONQG?url=http://metronews.ca/news/winnipeg/845935/the-dixie-chicks-bring-it-home-at-the-mts-centre-in-winnipeg/ |archivedate=23 November 2013}} For the final show in London, James Reaney (The London Free Press) wrote the group slowed no signs of animosity despite their controversial downfall. He went on to say, "Sunday night was a chance to celebrate the past and the present with fans cheering from the band’s arrival all the way to a huge ovation after a 90-minute main set".{{cite web |url=https://lfpress.com/2013/11/10/dixie-chicks-pack-budweiser-gardens-in-american-stars-first-london-appearance-in-seven-years |title=Dixie Chicks pack Budweiser Gardens in the first London appearance by the American stars in seven years|author=Reaney, James |date=11 November 2013 |work=The London Free Press |publisher=Québecor Média |accessdate=23 November 2013|archiveurl=http://www.freezepage.com/1385193790KJAMKQUORP?url=http://www.lfpress.com/2013/11/10/dixie-chicks-pack-budweiser-gardens-in-american-stars-first-london-appearance-in-seven-years |archivedate=23 November 2013}}
