The Telegraph called the show "flawless", praising its "Hollywood-indebted" staging, and Grande's "genuine affection for Britain".The BBC's review highlighted quieter songs like Imperfect For You, describing them as "delicate and gorgeous and strangely intimate in a room of 20,000 people".But Guardian writer Kate Solomon said she was "gripped by genuine concern" for Grande, even when she was enjoying the show, adding: "I really hope this tour does not go down in history for the wrong reasons".The NME, by contrast, was left breathless by the star's physical prowess."Throughout the show," marvelled Nick Levine, "she skips across the stage in skyscraper heels that most drag performers would baulk at."That wasn't the case on the final night, however, due to what Grande described as a "deep cut" on her foot.Writing on Instagram, she assured fans the injury wasn't serious, insisting she was "on the mend" and would complete her final shows "even if I am a few inches shorter than usual".She did so with a huge smile spread across her face, leaning into the big notes of Dangerous Woman, and sprinting across the stage during Break Free - one of many up-tempo highlights.
