Reviews proved Bon Jovi is better than ever as they dominate their third decade:
·         ASSOCIATED PRESS - "Bon Jovi is still making hit records: title track “This House Is Not for Sale” is as good a song as Jon Bon Jovi has ever written. As he grows older, he mixes a bold defiance (of age, injustice and negativity in general) with a more mature appreciation for love, life and hope."
·         BILLBOARD - “Bon Jovi opened his soul on record and in the live setting with a fascinating display of honesty and an inside look into what inspired the lyrics, music & story behind This House is Not for Sale.”
·         USA TODAY – “Nobody writes rock anthems like Jon Bon Jovi. It’s his superpower;” … “It says something about his skill set, 30-plus years into his career, that he was able to play a concert consisting of brand-new songs…and have audiences pumping their fists, clapping and hopping up and down as if he was doing a “greatest hits” show.” 
·         ASBURY PARK PRESS - "So what is the future like for Bon Jovi? Judging by the songs, it’s forceful, righteous and rocking. “House” is prime arena rock and “Rollercoaster” positively bursts with energy. “Born Again Tomorrow” had a screaming solo from Xenidis. “New Year’s Day,” with a Bon Jovi tremolo on vocals, suggests later period Bowie and “The Devil’s in the Temple” is a punky fist pumper, thanks to Xenidis’ crunchy chords." 
·         BBC Music – “Jon Bon was on chatty form between songs, explaining the lyrics and sharing "his stories" with an audience of devoted fans.'” 
·         EVENING STANDARD - "This House Is Not For Sale may prove to be the finest Bon Jovi album this century." "There were galloping verses and stadium-filling choruses to spare…" 
·         KERRANG - "They still have that irresistible Bon Jovi charm, with choruses bigger than an Airbus." 
·         THE GUARDIAN - “Stadium ready rock songs and chant friendly choruses”…“An intriguing new vulnerability”…“Labour Of Love is beautiful and sincere.”
·         DAILY MAIL - “Chest Beating Anthems”…"Bon Jovi’s vocals are gutsy.”
·         METRO (UK) - "It is the perfect reminder of why Bon Jovi have sold 130 million albums and packed out stadiums for three decades. And, as JB said in his last emotional monologue, they’ll continue to do so for another three." 
·         Gigwise (UK) – “The tracks from the album are stunning in their diversity”… “Rarely will you see such devotion at a rock group in a gig and it's thrilling to witness.” … “..reminds why Bon Jovi are considered one of the greatest live bands the world has ever known.” 
In February 2017, Bon Jovi’s This House Is Not For Sale Tour will be their first outing since 2013’s Because We Can World Tour. It was their third tour in six years to be ranked the #1 top-grossing tour in the world (a feat accomplished by only The Rolling Stones previously).
