Critical reception
Critics compared The Celebration of Mimi favorably to Carey's previous residencies. Las Vegas Review-Journal columnist John Katsilometes called it "a more inspired variation of the Caesars show, thoughtful and creative with its autobiographical through-line".[5] According to Tim Chan of Billboard, "while Carey has performed in Vegas before, she has never sounded or looked better."[6] People's Mark Gray and Jason Sheeler said "her latest spectacular show was a definite crowd pleaser".[7]
