Reception
Julia Koscelnick of The GW Hatchet praised her concert in Washington, D.C., quoted that, "she never fails to dazzle with her vocals, but a lack of energy during her show to take her time to rest, fans could emphathize with Lovato taking time off to focus on resting her vocal cords."[8] Jessica Jakubowicz of the Concordian, gave a positive review for Lovato's concert in Montreal, praising her all-girl band and vocals, and stating that her vocals fit the rock arrangements of her back-catalogue.[9]
