Critical reception

Jon Bream of the Star Tribune stated Jackson still shined without all the glitz. He says, "Jackson unleashed irresistible club bangers, found nasty rhythms and grooves, cooed cuddly ballads, delivered pop favorites and unearthed enough deep tracks to reward the hard-core fans, something that was missing on the 2011 tour."[2]

John Berger (Honolulu Star-Advertiser) stated Jackson's shows in Hawaii were "worth the wait". He went on to say: "[...] Jackson's star power — and a singer, as a dancer, as an entertainer — was as bright as ever Wednesday in the Arena."[3]
