Laura Cooney of Entertainment Focus, attended the 6 May London show and was all positive and praised his versatility. Cooney also said, "Even after 20 years in the business, it's clear Keith Urban is an artist at the top of his game and has a really strong sense of love for the UK audience – and that feel is mutual. He put together a masterclass of a show featuring all his top tracks, showing off his incredible skills as a guitar player and tremendous crowd engagement throughout, which all made for a fantastic night out." Khyle Medany from the Purple Revolver gave the Manchester show a 4.5 out of 5 rating. He said, "The O2 Apollo was Keith's stage on this night, for an intimate yet powerful, moving night of grooves, country jams and plentiful hits."[4]
