Criticial reception

Wayne Anderson from the website HuffPost gave the show high praise and recommendation. Anderson praised Wash and King's voices, "Like Martha, when Evelyn sings her past hits such as “Shame” she sounds just as perfect as if you were hearing it on the radio back in the day... I don't know what their future tour schedule is but I'm telling you this: If the First Ladies of Disco Show comes to your town - GO SEE THAT SHOW!"
