Chris Willman of Entertainment Weekly believed that "In Britney, Paul Verhoeven's fantastic notion of the showgirl as superstar has become incarnate. But every showgirl needs a show. The Onyx Hotel tour hardly counts as one, with its arbitrary mishmash of Madonna-esque sex-bomb skits and Cirque du Soleil surrealism".[20] The Seattle Times's Pamela Sitt said it "was high on spectacle and low on substance, veering crazily from burlesque to fairy tale to peep show".[17] Doug Elfman of the Las Vegas Review-Journal stated that the tour "is an unfocused bore of false sexuality, horrible songs, trite choreography, unfocused themes and less ambition than a house cat that sits around licking itself all day".[21] Darryl Morden of msnbc.com commented, "at times it was entertaining but overall came off as a variation on the same show she’s been doing for several years"

At times the show seemed more like a Las Vegas tribute to Ms. Spears than a concert by Ms. Spears herself. With her dance-driven Top 40 pop sounding out of date, at least she's already prepared for tenure in the casinos.
