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