Reception
Critical reception
Upon its release, A Town Called Paradise received mixed reviews from music critics. Christopher R. Weingarten of Rolling Stone gave the album a mixed review, stating, "EDM has changed pop, and now pop is changing veteran DJ Tiësto. He's moved from the abrasively chilly trance of 2009's Kaleidoscope to embrace pianos and guitars, a warm sound like the 4 a.m. version of Taylor Swift or Coldplay. He's a consummate crowd-pleaser, but he's best when he gets weird: The warped grind of "Echoes" is a standout; "Wasted" might be one of 2014's best country songs."[3]
Starting in 2015, the songs Footprints, Rocky, and Red Lights are featured as one of the shows for the Fountains of Bellagio. [4]
