Critical reception

Fred Schruers from Billboard described Deborah Harry, Shirley Manson and Sky Ferreria in the Los Angeles concert that "...all three epitomized a kind of sass and surety that indeed found a way to blend rage and rapture in a congenial package."{{Cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/7858136/blondie-garbage-sky-ferreira-hollywood-bowl-recap|title=Blondie, Garbage & Sky Ferreira Bring Punk-Rock Feminism to Hollywood Bowl|magazine=Billboard |date=July 10, 2017}} Sarah Grant from Rolling Stone described Garbage's set in the New York City concert as "Social issues were the undercurrent of Garbage’s set. Manson dedicated 2001's "Cherry Lips" to the LGBTQ community, a thread continuing into "Sex Is Not the Enemy" and "Queer" wherein Manson's fulsome purr sounded like Michael Hutchence with strep throat."{{Cite magazine|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-live-reviews/blondie-deliver-timeless-pop-with-an-edge-in-nyc-253537/|title=Blondie Deliver Timeless Pop With an Edge in NYC|magazine=Rolling Stone |date=August 2, 2017}}
