The set list for the concert features song's from the band's old catalog, like "Burnin' Up", "S.O.S", and "Year 3000", and songs from their comeback album, Happiness Begins.[9]

Reception

[edit]

Writing for TV Guide, Lindsay MacDonald commented that the movie seems like "pure happiness", and that it could cheer the Jonas Brothers fans, since it was released during the COVID-19 pandemic, when live concerts around the world were being canceled.[10] Katie Green from Platform Magazine recommended the film, as well as the previous documentary, Chasing Happiness, stating that the concert film would be worth watching, not only by the fans, but for general audiences, while the world was in lockdown. She wrote that the behind-the-scenes parts, showcasing the brothers' relationship with their families, were a highlight of the film.[11]
