Lee Zimmerman of the Goldmine Magazine had a chance to see the band perform and had this to say about their show,
“On our final evening at the festival, we were witness to the concert that inevitably proved to be its highlight…The blend of mood, melody, ambiance and atmosphere dazzled the audience, which responded with frequent standing ovations.”
Then in Montreal, another writer experienced what the band had to offer and had a few words to share as well. Jordan Zivitz of the Montreal Gazette said,
“There was an undeniable nostalgic thrill to these songs, but considering the unconventional setup and the band’s longstanding aversion to living in the past, they weren’t presented as museum pieces…this remained a celebration from a band that has found a way to honour the scope of its legacy without abandoning its avant-garde principles. Crimson has never sounded more complete, or more joyous, on stage than it does now.”
