"Un bel concerto in sintesi, la cui unica pecca è forse la sbrigatività della band nell’eseguire tutti i brani uno in fila all’altro quasi senza soluzione di continuità."

"Une chose est sûre, les Stranglers de 2019 n’ont plus grand chose à voir avec le groupe de 1977 car ils ont acquis une maîtrise incroyable de leur art avec le temps et sont devenus une sorte d’icône des années 70/80 plus proches du Classic Rock que du Punk Rock et qu’on revoit avec beaucoup de plaisir et de nostalgie…"

"来日公演二日目のストラングラーズには少なからず余裕が感じられ​た。初日にあった気負いやナーバスな気配はなくなり、いつもどお​りののびのびとした演奏を繰り広げていたように思える彼らだが、​そう感じたのはオープニング曲が「The Raven」だったからなのかもしれない.。"

"Hugh Cornwell mag dan wel 70 jaar zijn, maar het is er absoluut niet aan te zien en te horen. Hij klinkt nog altijd als een “angry young men” en zocht twee fantastische muzikanten uit om zijn songs mee te brengen. Wij zagen een ongeloofelijk straf concert!"
