Critical reception

The Digital Journal's, Markos Papadatos says of the Goo Goo Dolls, "Overall, the Goo Goo Dolls gave Long Island, New York, a night of acoustic, rock and adult contemporary music to remember. It is no wonder that they have been around for well over two decades and they have always managed to stay relevant despite the changes in the music industry." [5]

Sophia June of the Daily Emerald says, "Upon the first glance, the nights lineup seemed a bit random-like creating an unconventional meal out of the last ingredients in your pantry. I wasn't convinced the three bands had much cohesion until the Goo Goo Dolls third song-"Slide". Goo Goo Dolls are a blending of the melodic, harmony-laden romantic Plain White T's and the rock energy and driving electric guitar of Daughtry." [6]

John Serba from M. Live gave the show 2½ stars out of 4, and said that he felt like Daughtry sounded generic and that the Goo Goo Dolls "ring true". About Daughtry he said that they were "skirting the edge of aggro-rock at times – the type of sound that might benefit from a more dynamic light show than what nature provides on a mild summer evening. Although the crowd responded with more enthusiasm to songs such as "Over You", "It's Not Over" and "Battleships", Daughtry's set sometimes lacked punch". For the Goo Goo Dolls, a highlight is when they performed "Rebel Beat". When comparing the two bands, Daughtry is stronger at singing and the Good Goo Dolls are stronger at songwriting.[3]

Sioux City Journal's Bruce R. Miller said, "While the two acts couldn't have been more dissimilar, they helped show just how far that "rock" label can stretch", "Daughtry followed a more familiar path, Goo Goo Dolls went an alternate route." The showmanship between the two was also different. When Goo Goo Dolls bass player Robby Takac took over on lead vocals on a few songs he didn't receive the same reaction as John Rzeznik did.[4]
