Ed Masley from The Arizona Republic, who was at the first show of the tour which took place in Phoenix, wrote that "the whole thing was brilliantly staged, with bright colors, interpretive dancing and plenty of high-flying spectacle. If for some reason, you believe you've seen another artist put more time and effort into doing acrobatics high above the crowd, you may just be thinking of Cirque du Soleil."^[15] Jimmie Tramel of Tulsa World reviewed positively the concert on March 5, 2018, in Tulsa. He said "Wow. That's really the only word necessary to describe Pink's concert Monday night at the BOK Center."^[16] Omaha World-Herald staff writer Kevin Coffey attended and reviewed the concert in Lincoln, stating that Pink has "set the bar very, very high" and that "her contemporaries should buy a ticket, sit in the back and take notes. That's how it should be done."^[17] Also L. Kent Wolgamott attended the same show and wrote another positive review for Journal Star, saying that "More than years ago, she delivered the best show in the first year of Pinnacle Bank Arena. On Tuesday night, she did it again with another singing/dancing/flying spectacle that [...] not only sets the bar for concerts, it is the bar." He also praised Pink's stage presence: "When she wasn't flying around, Pink was in constant motion on the stage, joining her 10 dancers in tightly choreographed routines, slapping hands with audience members and basking in the spotlights."^[18] Kirstine Walton of National Rock Review reviewed the first show in Chicago, stating that "Each time you see P!nk you wonder what new elements she can bring to the performance, but each time she raises the bar yet again. Not only does she make the entire performance appear to be effortless, she truly looks like she is having the time of her life on the stage." She also noticed the connection between Pink and her tour crew, adding that "the respect and camaraderie for her band and dancers is clearly evident throughout, taking the time to name everyone individually, providing each of them their moment in the spotlight in turn."^[19]

The second show at Madison Square Garden in New York City was reviewed positively by Bobby Olivier of NJ.com, who defined the Beautiful Trauma World tour "the tour to beat in 2018". He also wrote that Pink is "a terrific live vocalist with a list of radio hits so long that she cannot fit them all into a single set while still giving space to songs from a new album."^[20] After the show in Boston on April 9, Marc Hirsh from Boston Globe, about Pink's performances, stated that "None of this is new, of course. But the fact remains that no other pop star is even attempting this sort of thing, so to watch Pink do it and keep singing remains as astonishing as when she first added literal acrobatics without a harness or net to her arsenal years ago."^[21] The concert in Atlanta was reviewed positively by Melissa Ruggieri from The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, who defined it "nearly two hours of unabashed fun." She also praised Pink as a person as well as an entertainer: "The fact that Pink does it all with a sly smile and potent, husky vocals is a tribute to her stamina, dedication and obvious joy at being onstage. She's also a down-to-earth presence to her fans, spending plenty of time laying on the catwalk floor to take selfies, acknowledging signs and accepting a gift for her 16-month-old son, Jameson [...] Pink has all the right moves. She's genuine, she's entertaining, she's a fantastic singer. And she's already the front-runner for the best concert of 2018."^[22]

Matthew Keever wrote a positive review for Houston Press about the show which took place on April 27, stating that "For nearly two hours, P!NK entertained a throng of enthusiastic fans with her soaring vocals, catchy choruses and high-flying acrobatics."^[23] Another positive review was written by Jim Harrington from Mercury News, who attended the show in Oakland. He said that "the pop superstar basically hits the crowd with everything she's got, and then some, for roughly two hours. There's pyrotechnics, aerial stunts, dance routines, hit songs, catchy banter and, yes, one giant, inflatable Eminem." He also added that Pink is "[...] all about exceeding expectations, pleasing the fans and delivering an equally encompassing and entertaining concert experience. And she definitely achieves her mission with her latest road show."^[24] Mikael Wood, regarding the show that took place in Anaheim, wrote a positive review for Los Angeles Times. In particular, he praised Pink's choice about the setlist: "yet for all Pink's razzle-dazzle — and let me be clear in saying that this new aerial stunt was truly astounding — the primary effect of Friday's production wasn't practical or technological but emotional. You left the gig feeling as if you had been spoken to from the heart, which in a room as big as this one might be the more impressive feat. [...] her hit singles from the last two decades put across an idea of timelessness; she's still taking a broadly universal approach."^[25]

Oceania

The first show in Oceania was reviewed positively by Ross McRae, who defined Pink's tour "her best yet", due to "the perfect mix of choreography, visuals, aerial acrobatics, pyrotechnics, novelty, sass and yes, that soaring voice that rises above any notion that she is just a robot on autopilot."^[26] Aziz Al-Sa'afin from Newshub attended one of the shows in Sydney and ended his review stating that "when it was over, I wanted more. I could have happily sat through another two hours of what I had just experienced." He also wrote that "P!nk is not just a singer-song writer - she's also a dancer, trapeze artist and comedian."^[27] The first show in Brisbane was reviewed by Daniel Johnson of Courier-Mail, who stated that "with an eight-piece backing band and ten dancers, and several set changes, the Beautiful Trauma tour is a musical, visual and theatrical extravaganza that redefines what can be done with an arena pop show."^[28] Another positive review was made by Bridget Jones for Stuff.co.nz: "up, down, front, back, left and right, Pink was everywhere, doing everything. Every move, every comment, and every song her fans wanted to hear - she performed about 20 of them throughout the spectacular performance - she took the audience on a wee journey from her early days as the bad girl of pop [...] through to her more recent hits." In addition, Pink's charisma was defined "unmatched".^[29]

Europe

Lisa O'Donnell wrote a positive review for Extra for the show in Dublin, who called "The spectacle is over-the-top in every possible way — circus aerial stunts and glitter explosions feature throughout the two-hour show."^[30] Sophie Williams from The Guardian rated the Cardiff show five out of five stars, stating "Pink condenses a tour's worth of energy, showmanship and stage production into one show, flexing her athleticism while singing live, on-key and with sublime verve."^[31] Elle May Rice from Liverpool Echo reviewed for Liverpool saying "Pink definitely has it all, balancing - literally - her incredible vocals, frequent costume changes, and daring acrobatics routines seamlessly...She made the whole crowd feel like family, bringing us together in a perfect, Pink way."^[32]
