NME's Rhian Daly praised IU's performance at Seoul's KSPO Dome, for its creativity and immersive experience. He highlighted how placing her stage in the center of the venue broke down barriers between IU and her audience, enhancing the connection between her and her fans. The production design transformed the stage into various settings, enriching the storytelling. Divided into emotive sections, the setlist showcased IU's vocal talent and included special guest appearances.[5]
