For the opening night of the tour in Hampton Court Palace, Thomas Hobbs from the "Evening Standard" gave the show four stars out of five, calling the show "the perfect warm-up for her Sunday evening legends slot", stating that Minogue was "unapologetically cheesy" but "so endearing". He also picked out the mashup of "Slow" and Bowie's "Fashion" as a highlight of the show. Laura Snapes from "The Guardian" gave the Glastonbury show a five-star review, complimenting Minogue on managing a "seemingly impossible combination of sincerity and camp , pop perfection and pure emotion". She went on to applaud her set list and showmanship as "absolutely phenomenal" and concluded saying, "Never mind the legends slot; next stop, headliner." Dan Stubbs from NME praised the show for being "subtly subversive" and concluded that her Glastonbury debut was "worth the wait". Similarly, Anna Leszkiewicz from "The Independent" gave the show a positive review. Leszkiewicz praised that Minogue "has never been one to shy away from her brand of school disco pop", yet criticised that she sometimes "veered into self-parody" during the show. Minogue's performance was the most watched Glastonbury  performance in history, peaking with 3.9 million viewers. Setlist. This set list is representative of the 23 June 2019 show in Blenheim.
