Reception

Ed Masley of The Arizona Republic said of the Phoenix show, "It was an entertaining night that found the singer in excellent voice throughout while leading a stage full of top-notch musicians in a set that struck just the right balance between his upbeat party songs and heartfelt moments that at times recalled the feel of a Bruce Springsteen concert."{{Cite web|url=https://www.azcentral.com/story/entertainment/music/2015/08/16/dierks-bentley-concert-review-phoenix-riser/31813643/|title=Review: Dierks Bentley brings the party to Phoenix|date=August 16, 2015}}
