Critics remarked that the show was hampered by uneven production values and amateurish performances in some cases. The NY Post called the show “insufferable” and a night of “narcissism.”
However, the event did raise $55.1 million for the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund and $72.8 million for local and regional charities responding the pandemic, said its main organizer, Global Citizen.
