	The Truth About Love Tour has received overwhelming critical acclaim. Jason Bracelin from the '']'' calls P!nk a "party girl with a heart of gold",<ref>{{cite web\|last=Bracelin\|first=Jason\|title=PINK: A party girl with a heart of gold\|url=http://www.lvrj.com/neon/pink-s-self-awareness-rivaling-sensibilities-makes-her-relatable-to-sold-out-crowd-191544561.html\|publisher=Las Vegas Review-Journal\|accessdate=March 8, 2013}}</ref> while Jim Harrington from ''Mercury News'' says P!nk "is the new gold standard", adding that "you definitely don't walk away from a Pink show shrugging your shoulders and muttering 'meh.' It's far more likely that fans practically skip out of the building, feeling extremely satisfied with the experience and determined to tell others to 'go see Pink next time she's in town' Honesty is, as they say, the best policy. And, after watching the Truth About Love Tour, I can honestly say that few, if any, performers deliver better pop spectacles than Pink." <ref>{{cite web\|last=Harrington\|first=Jim\|title=Review: Pink is pure gold in San Jose\|url=http://www.mercurynews.com/music/ci_22619110/review-pink-is-pure-gold-san-jose\|accessdate=March 8, 2013}}</ref>

	August Brown of '']'' opined that Pink is "perhaps the most gifted and imaginative physical performer in pop right now." He believes P!nk's set serves as a reminder that "her best asset in performing – more than her aerialist talents or Joplin-esque power-rasp voice, is her self-awareness."<ref>{{cite web\|last=Brown\|first=August\|title=Review: Pink soars at Staples Center\|url=http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/music/posts/la-et-ms-review-pink-staples-center-20130217,0,1439243.story\|publisher=The L.A. Times Music Blog\|accessdate=March 8, 2013}}</ref> Steve Appleford from '']'', who was also at the L.A. show, described the vaudeville as a "grown-up, sophisticated show, and Pink was relaxed and chatty between songs." He went on to praise the singer, adding that "by the time Pink was soaring gracefully through the air on cables stretched across the arena to perform "So What," the singer had demonstrated an epic workout of vocals, stagecraft and stunt-work without missing a note. The night’s best special effect was Pink herself."<ref>{{cite web\|last=Appleford\|first=Steve\|title=Pink Dazzles Staples Center Crowd With Stagecraft and Attitude \|url=http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/pink-dazzles-staples-center-crowd-with-stagecraft-and-attitude-20130217\|publisher=Rolling Stones\|accessdate=March 8, 2013}}</ref> Craig Rosen from '']'' sums up the show, saying: "P!nk launches back to the top of pop with acrobatic stunts and killer vocals."<ref>{{cite web\|last=Rosen\|first=Craig\|title=Pink Reveals 'The Truth About Love' in Showstopping, Spectacular Fashion: Concert Review\|url=http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review/pink-reveals-truth-love-showstopping-422042\|work=The Hollywood Reporter\|accessdate=March 8, 2013}}</ref> After the Houston show, Jane Howze from ''Culture Map Houston'' gave a positive review, believing that The Truth About Love show is poised to be 2013's concert of the year. She adds: "I have always said that Chris Martin, frontman of ] is the hardest working entertainer around, but I’m reconsidering, and now I’m giving Pink the nod. A Pink concert is a little like a ] performance. There is so much happening on stage—the songs, the dancing and of course the acrobatics—it is a feast for the senses."<ref>{{cite web\|last=Howze\|first=Jane\|title=Concert of the Year?

	Giving a rave review, Sean Daly of ''Times Pop Music Critic'', says P!nk has proven "there are no longer any viable excuses for a performer to ever lip-synch again. If this 33-year-old mommy could soulfully belt out opening hit Raise Your Glass while boing-boing-ing rafter-high via bungee ropes, the Britneys and Beyonces of the Top 40 realm can't claim dance moves or chilly climes as decent reasons to switch off the mike."<ref>{{cite web\|last=Daly\|first=Sean\|title=http://www.tampabay.com/things-to-do/music/pink-thrills-tampa-bay-forum-crowd-with-daring-in-the-air-swagger-on-the/1276889\|url=http://www.tampabay.com/things-to-do/music/pink-thrills-tampa-bay-forum-crowd-with-daring-in-the-air-swagger-on-the/1276889\|work=Tampa Bay Times\|accessdate=March 8, 2013}}</ref> Of her Palace of Auburn Hills show, Adam Graham of '']'' says: "Tuesday's concert was Pink's first area headlining show since 2002, and she's now entered a master class of pop spectacle providers. She displayed the physicality of Madonna in the way she lead her troupe of dancers, and the production was on par with that of any big name pop act".<ref>{{cite web\|last=Graham\|first=Adam\|title=Pink in rare air with over-the-top performance at Palace From The Detroit News: http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20130306/ENT04/303060374#ixzz2My0Rd7LA\|url=http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20130306/ENT04/303060374#ixzz2MlAmPXUd\|work=The Detroit News\|accessdate=March 8, 2013}}</ref>

			== Critical response ==
			The Truth About Love Tour has received overwhelming critical acclaim. Jason Bracelin from the '']'' calls P!nk a "party girl with a heart of gold",<ref>{{cite web\|last=Bracelin\|first=Jason\|title=PINK: A party girl with a heart of gold\|url=http://www.lvrj.com/neon/pink-s-self-awareness-rivaling-sensibilities-makes-her-relatable-to-sold-out-crowd-191544561.html\|publisher=Las Vegas Review-Journal\|accessdate=March 8, 2013}}</ref> while Jim Harrington from ''Mercury News'' says P!nk "is the new gold standard", adding that "you definitely don't walk away from a Pink show shrugging your shoulders and muttering 'meh.' It's far more likely that fans practically skip out of the building, feeling extremely satisfied with the experience and determined to tell others to 'go see Pink next time she's in town' Honesty is, as they say, the best policy. And, after watching the Truth About Love Tour, I can honestly say that few, if any, performers deliver better pop spectacles than Pink." <ref>{{cite web\|last=Harrington\|first=Jim\|title=Review: Pink is pure gold in San Jose\|url=http://www.mercurynews.com/music/ci_22619110/review-pink-is-pure-gold-san-jose\|accessdate=March 8, 2013}}</ref>

			August Brown of '']'' opined that Pink is "perhaps the most gifted and imaginative physical performer in pop right now." He believes P!nk's set serves as a reminder that "her best asset in performing – more than her aerialist talents or Joplin-esque power-rasp voice, is her self-awareness."<ref>{{cite web\|last=Brown\|first=August\|title=Review: Pink soars at Staples Center\|url=http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/music/posts/la-et-ms-review-pink-staples-center-20130217,0,1439243.story\|publisher=The L.A. Times Music Blog\|accessdate=March 8, 2013}}</ref> Steve Appleford from '']'', who was also at the L.A. show, described the vaudeville as a "grown-up, sophisticated show, and Pink was relaxed and chatty between songs." He went on to praise the singer, adding that "by the time Pink was soaring gracefully through the air on cables stretched across the arena to perform "So What," the singer had demonstrated an epic workout of vocals, stagecraft and stunt-work without missing a note. The night’s best special effect was Pink herself."<ref>{{cite web\|last=Appleford\|first=Steve\|title=Pink Dazzles Staples Center Crowd With Stagecraft and Attitude \|url=http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/pink-dazzles-staples-center-crowd-with-stagecraft-and-attitude-20130217\|publisher=Rolling Stones\|accessdate=March 8, 2013}}</ref> Craig Rosen from '']'' sums up the show, saying: "P!nk launches back to the top of pop with acrobatic stunts and killer vocals."<ref>{{cite web\|last=Rosen\|first=Craig\|title=Pink Reveals 'The Truth About Love' in Showstopping, Spectacular Fashion: Concert Review\|url=http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review/pink-reveals-truth-love-showstopping-422042\|work=The Hollywood Reporter\|accessdate=March 8, 2013}}</ref> After the Houston show, Jane Howze from ''Culture Map Houston'' gave a positive review, believing that The Truth About Love show is poised to be 2013's concert of the year. She adds: "I have always said that Chris Martin, frontman of ] is the hardest working entertainer around, but I’m reconsidering, and now I’m giving Pink the nod. A Pink concert is a little like a ] performance. There is so much happening on stage—the songs, the dancing and of course the acrobatics—it is a feast for the senses."<ref>{{cite web\|last=Howze\|first=Jane\|title=Concert of the Year?

			Giving a rave review, Sean Daly of ''Times Pop Music Critic'', says P!nk has proven "there are no longer any viable excuses for a performer to ever lip-synch again. If this 33-year-old mommy could soulfully belt out opening hit Raise Your Glass while boing-boing-ing rafter-high via bungee ropes, the Britneys and Beyonces of the Top 40 realm can't claim dance moves or chilly climes as decent reasons to switch off the mike."<ref>{{cite web\|last=Daly\|first=Sean\|title=http://www.tampabay.com/things-to-do/music/pink-thrills-tampa-bay-forum-crowd-with-daring-in-the-air-swagger-on-the/1276889\|url=http://www.tampabay.com/things-to-do/music/pink-thrills-tampa-bay-forum-crowd-with-daring-in-the-air-swagger-on-the/1276889\|work=Tampa Bay Times\|accessdate=March 8, 2013}}</ref> Of her Palace of Auburn Hills show, Adam Graham of '']'' says: "Tuesday's concert was Pink's first area headlining show since 2002, and she's now entered a master class of pop spectacle providers.

Critical response

The Truth About Love Tour has received overwhelming critical acclaim. Jason Bracelin from the Las Vegas Review-Journal calls P!nk a "party girl with a heart of gold", while Jim Harrington from Mercury News says P!nk "is the new gold standard", adding that "you definitely don't walk away from a Pink show shrugging your shoulders and muttering 'meh.' It's far more likely that fans practically skip out of the building, feeling extremely satisfied with the experience and determined to tell others to 'go see Pink next time she's in town' Honesty is, as they say, the best policy. And, after watching the Truth About Love Tour, I can honestly say that few, if any, performers deliver better pop spectacles than Pink."

August Brown of Los Angeles Times opined that Pink is "perhaps the most gifted and imaginative physical performer in pop right now." He believes P!nk's set serves as a reminder that "her best asset in performing – more than her aerialist talents or Joplin-esque power-rasp voice, is her self-awareness." Steve Appleford from Rolling Stone, who was also at the L.A. show, described the vaudeville as a "grown-up, sophisticated show, and Pink was relaxed and chatty between songs." He went on to praise the singer, adding that "by the time Pink was soaring gracefully through the air on cables stretched across the arena to perform "So What," the singer had demonstrated an epic workout of vocals, stagecraft and stunt-work without missing a note. The night’s best special effect was Pink herself." Craig Rosen from The Hollywood Reporter sums up the show, saying: "P!nk launches back to the top of pop with acrobatic stunts and killer vocals." After the Houston show, Jane Howze from Culture Map Houston gave a positive review, believing that The Truth About Love show is poised to be 2013's concert of the year. She adds: "I have always said that Chris Martin, frontman of Coldplay is the hardest working entertainer around, but I’m reconsidering, and now I’m giving Pink the nod. A Pink concert is a little like a Cirque du Soleil performance. There is so much happening on stage—the songs, the dancing and of course the acrobatics—it is a feast for the senses."

Giving a rave review, Sean Daly of Times Pop Music Critic, says P!nk has proven "there are no longer any viable excuses for a performer to ever lip-synch again. If this 33-year-old mommy could soulfully belt out opening hit Raise Your Glass while boing-boing-ing rafter-high via bungee ropes, the Britneys and Beyonces of the Top 40 realm can't claim dance moves or chilly climes as decent reasons to switch off the mike." Of her Palace of Auburn Hills show, Adam Graham of The Detroit News says: "Tuesday's concert was Pink's first area headlining show since 2002, and she's now entered a master class of pop spectacle providers. She displayed the physicality of Madonna in the way she lead her troupe of dancers, and the production was on par with that of any big name pop act".
