Critical reception
editHwang Hye-jin from Newsen praised the members in the Dominated tour "proved their excellent stage management skills by diligently moving around the center stage, the raised stage, and even the two sides, based on the experience they gained through the Japanese dome and North American stadium performances during their second tour.[13] For Singapore show, The Straits Times's Joanne Soh called the show the "commanding presence, high energy and elaborate numbers that were heavy on theatrics,"[14] and Ashley Cheah from HallyuSG noted the camera works, live band, members' solo stages, and performance details as the four highlights of the show.[15]
