Critical reception Cathy Rose A. Garcia from The Korea Times found Keys’ concert at the Jamsil Gymnasium in Soul “fierce” and stated that “Keys had the audience in the palm of her hand” while “show[ing] off her strong vocals to full effect”. Ben Werner from The Orange County Register felt that “Keys hasn’t quite blossomed into a master of the form, her balance of choreographed routines and moments alone tickling the ivories never flowing as seamlessly as it should” but, however, found the concert “mostly satisfying”.
