Critical Reception

Although most reviews commented on how Ward was an "amazing live performer" and was able to "hold his own on stage", they also slated the shows for including too many cover versions and not enough of his own material from his then new album. A South Yorkshire based newspaper "The Star" mentioned that this was expected from one of Louis Walsh's proteges.
