Reviewing the Arlington concert, CultureMap music critic Jane Howze wrote:
Over the next two hours, the band performed 23 songs, eight of which were from the most recent album, A Head Full of Dreams. In addition to the main stage and a 50-yard runway which Martin dashed up and down throughout the night with a Texas flag flapping off his pants, the band performed three quieter songs on the end of the runway, including a moving version of "Magic," the best selling single of their 2014 Ghost Stories album.
