Reactions
In reviewing the opening tour date, a reviewer from The New York Times called the performance "a fun-loving experience in the history of rap metal". Someone from the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review wrote of the concert at the Benedum Center that ""In the first half of the show they was close to receding, but toward the end of the night they found power, delivering 'Allons-y' with a bang, and closing out '3-Piece Happiness' with over-the-top enthusiasm, while the backup musicians mostly made way for this trio."

In an interview prior to the concert in Rio de Janeiro in July, someone from The Rio Times said of DNA: "Those little kids just love it. DNA sure did 'Something About Teamwork' and it was awesome!"
