Reception A review for the concert at Kool Haus in Toronto, by Jason MacNeil of Jam! Canoe wrote, "Opening a sold-out, two-night stand at Toronto's Kool Haus Thursday evening, Three Days Grace executed this blueprint to a tee before the youthful, party-hard crowd routinely pumping their fists or giving lead singer Adam Gontier and company the devil horn salute [...] While much of the songs seem to rely on Gontier's occasional growls and the work of mohawk-sporting guitarist Barry Stock, bassist Brad Walst and drummer Neil Sanderson also held their own during 'Let It Die'. Aside from the lighting guys, Sanderson might have had the best seat in the house perched on a rather lofty drum riser." Another writer from Jam! Canoe, Lindsey Ward commented on the concert at MTS Centre in Winnipeg, remarking, "At press time, plans to start a 'Riot' were still on deck. Let's hope the noisy One-X track was wild enough to suffice among ballads like 'Never Too Late' and 'Wake Up', which were also still to come. Grunge-heads still mourning the loss of Kurt Cobain would have either loved or loathed the opening set from Seether, who have honed Nirvana's sound to the point where, at times, it sort of creeps us out." Writing for Club Kingsnake, Clint Gilders wrote a review for the concert at the Asphodel-Norwood Community Centre in Norwood, Ontario, stating, "This being a homecoming I was hoping for more audience interaction from lead singer Adam Gontier and maybe some anecdotes about growing up in Norwood. Instead it was pretty much a straight ahead Three Days Grace show with little between song banter and uncomfortable pauses between songs. Adam does do an amazing unaccompanied acoustic version of Alice in Chains 'The Rooster'. I dig their music but have yet to be thrilled by Three Days Grace live, but my hats off to them for doing this benefit concert in their hometown."
