Shows in the UK were high praised amongst local critics. Lorna Hughes (
Liverpool Echo) gave Murs performance in Liverpool five out of five stars. She wrote: "Olly is the consummate entertainer, and at times seems to be having even more fun than the audience. Between songs he shares how much he loves Liverpool and how a very honest Scouse lady in catering pointed out the giant spot on his face." In Birmingham, Justine Halifax (
Birmingham Mail) gave the concert four out of five stars. "He then delivered the party atmosphere that he had promised when he took to the stage. Accompanied by an amazing nine-piece band and four backing singers, the former
X-Factor runner up, who announced that he was 'feeling a little bit frisky', then romped through hits from his five albums." Matilda Egere-Cooper (
London Evening Standard) gave the shows in London three out of five stars. She states: "With nods to
Robbie Williams and
Justin Timberlake, his gig was 90 minutes of fun-filled showmanship from a singer who's learned he's better off sticking to his strengths. Strokes of laddish humour, dad-dancing and chart-toppers such as Heart Skips a Beat and Dance With Me Tonight all appeared among the fancy visuals and pyrotechnics." ==Opening acts==
