Reviewing the Pula concert, Nikola Knežević of Croatian music portal Music Box noted that Lipa delivered a captivating performance that turned the venue into a vibrant dance floor, showing how "fit she is by keeping up with her dancers, running up and down huge steps on the stage, and dancing throughout the entire concert".[8] Edo Plovanić of Muzika.hr praised the concert as one of the best of the year in Croatia, highlighting Lipa's charisma, the impressive visual effects, and her ability to engage the audience in the historic setting of the Roman amphitheater, noting, "[her] performance in Pula can be characterized as one of the most attractive, with her showing great control over her team and connecting with the audience in a unique venue".[9]
