Critical reception

Critics compared The Celebration of Mimi 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".[4] According to Tim Chan of Billboard, "while Carey has performed in Vegas before, she has never sounded or looked better."[5] People's Mark Gray and Jason Sheeler said "her latest spectacular show was a definite crowd pleaser".[6]
