Critical reception Ghalib Shiraz Dhalla of online publication Indulge Magazine reviewed the Walt Disney Concert Hall show held on October 3, 2025.Ledisi at the Disney Concert Hall — A Triumphant Tribute to Dinah Washington. Indulge Magazine. Retrieved on March 5, 2026 She remarked, "This was the kind of concert we rarely get anymore: unapologetically steeped in jazz tradition yet alive with emotional immediacy." Andrew Gilbert for the San Francisco Chronicle reviewed the October 6, 2025, concert performance, giving it a mixed review as Gilbert praised several of Ledisi's traditional arrangements but felt the "slyly funky arrangement of 'This Bitter Earth,' which brought to mind the Ahmad Jamal Trio, was less successful, sapping the song of some of its devastating, self-dramatizing loneliness."Ledisi Comes Home in Style.
