Online Review - 'She certainly didn't inhabit the part of the outsider for a second. The adoration of her screaming crowd was evident in the frequent shouted proclamations of love from the floor, in the posters and signs that some in the audience had created to hold up in the hope of catching their idol's eye, and in the carefully-prepared scrapbook that two devoted fans presented up to the stage'

Online Review - 'There can be no disputing that chart topping Paloma is a glamorous pop goddess, with the voice of an angel, nor that she’s unlikely to ever lose her kooky, witty, down to earth personality. She’s another artist that has to be seen live to fully experience her music and it’s been interesting witnessing her developing her personal style from the outrageously costumed in her earlier days, to the classy glamour queen which stands before us today'
