alim kheraj of "gq", after attending the concert at london's o2 arena, described timberlake as "one of the greatest live performers of all time." "timberlake and the man of the woods tour has its secret weapon: captivation. with more than two decades of experience in the entertainment industry, he knows how to maintain an audience's attention, how to mould them so they’re pumped at his signals and (mostly) when to take his foot off the accelerator. [...] similarly, unlike a legacy artist, his show is still exciting, carefully crafted to bring fans the best in audio-visual technology while ensuring that, musically, things line up too."
