The Chicks staged a reunion tour in 2016, beginning the trek in April of that year and wrapping up nearly a year later in Canada. Released in August 2017,
DCX MMXVI is a CD/DVD set commemorating the trio's last stop on the U.S. leg, capturing the full show they gave on October 10, 2016. It's a crisp, assured performance that finds
the Chicks hitting all of their major songs and threading in numerous covers, including a telling version of
Beyonce's "Daddy Lessons." If the performance is occasionally so polished it gleams, it also benefits from the trio's professionalism -- not just in their abundant chops but how they can pull off an entertaining show. Perhaps that doesn't make for a major record, but it's enough for fans who have been waiting a long time for a new
Chickss record of any sort. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
