The Vice Versa Tour was met with highly positive reviews from critics. Writing for Latina, Lucas Villa called Alejandro an "incredible showman" and stated that he proves he is "the next big Latin pop star" on the tour. He added that "dancing is an integral part to the way Alejandro presents himself" in his performances.{{cite news|url=https://latina.com/rauw-alejandro-proves-hes-the-next-big-latin-pop-star-on-his-vice-versa-tour/|title=Rauw Alejandro Proves He's The Next Big Latin Pop Star On His Vice Versa Tour|last=Villa|first=Lucas|work=Latina|access-date=September 9, 2022|archive-date=September 9, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220909084649/https://latina.com/rauw-alejandro-proves-hes-the-next-big-latin-pop-star-on-his-vice-versa-tour/|url-status=live}} An author of Diario El Norte gave the Buenos Aires show a positive review, saying he "confirmed his excellent professional moment by shining in the concert he gave" at the Estadio Luna Park. Erwin Perez from El Nuevo Herald praised his performance at the FTX Arena, labeling it "a complete party". He continued: "Rauw doesn't give the public a break, he has a mastery of the stage and a sense of showmanship that avoids bumps."
