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.

First he sends a dispatch about Danzig and how 10,000 German tourists are pouring into the city every day with butterfly nets in their hands and submachine guns in their knapsacks.
