Critical reception
[edit]St. Louis Today's Amanda St. Amand says that, "He put that charisma on display before a rollicking and sold-out horde on Friday night at Verizon Wireless Amphitheater with a "Ten Times Crazier" tour that proved he's a headliner well-worth his top billing... (There's a reason he's country music's reigning male vocalist and entertainer of the year.)"[7] "Blake has such a stage presence and entertains and interacts with the crowd so well... He could follow behind the greats like George Strait, Johnny Cash, & Merle Haggard", says Melissa Gibson of All Access Magazine.[7] Melissa Ruggieri of Access Atlanta says that Shelton's "voice is strong enough – a supple instrument that contains more range than most of his CMA-winning peers – but what makes Shelton such a delight is his interaction with the crowd and tremendous sense of humor."[8]
