Reception
The New York Times praised the show in Madison Square Garden, comparing Sangalo to Beyoncé and Shakira, saying Sangalo has a strong energy and charisma. The article points out that the barrier of language was the main challenge for her international career and success. 14,500 people were in attendance for the concert. This is far more than the usual number of people expected for a non-English-speaking act when playing in the US, which is about 3,000–4,000 average.

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“To the United States the Third World often takes the form of a black woman who has been made pregnant in a moment of passion and who shows up one day in the reception room on the forty-ninth floor threatening to make a scene. The lawyers pay the woman off; sometimes uniformed guards accompany her to the elevators.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
“But in the reception of metaphysical formula, all depends, as regards their actual and ulterior result, on the pre-existent qualities of that soil of human nature into which they fall—the company they find already present there, on their admission into the house of thought.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
“Aesthetic emotion puts man in a state favorable to the reception of erotic emotion.... Art is the accomplice of love. Take love away and there is no longer art.”
—Rémy De Gourmont (1858–1915)
