Critical reception

Eric Volmez of the Calgary Herald says, "Urban's fiery return to the Saddledome for a Stampede concert Saturday was his second stop this year to promote 2013's Fuse and further proof that he has easily mastered into one of the genre's most reliable exciting concert draws over the past decade, heads and shoulders above most of his cowboy hat/baseball cap-wearing brethren that dominate the charts."
