Critic Reviews
Show All-
ALL MUSIC
builds on the skill set that gave listeners "Love, Pain & the Whole Crazy Thing" and takes it further, seamlessly combining hook-laden crafty songwriting with a pop sensibility in the modern country vernacular that blazes a new trail and underscores Duke Ellington's dictum that there are only two kinds of music: good and bad.

popMATTERS
The album, co-produced by Urban and Dann Huff, has a smooth, lush sound that fits the material like a well-tailored suit.

Defying Gravity barely gets off the ground.
-
American Noise
Defying Gravity adds up to a disappointing album that will offend no one and engage some, but which is ultimately far less than what Urban is capable of.

This album far surpasses his previous material and is good enough to possibly garner Album of the Year awards.

we get an earnest affirmation of love's healing power—delivered with big doses of Urban's decidedly rock-oriented approach to country guitar.

He’s taken such an aggressive header into the fluffy clouds of romantic optimism.

It may be a bit cliche or overproduced in places but it’s inviting, honest and above all wonderfully positive!

a great representation of Keith's married life, new life as a father and his evident life happiness.

abundance of love songs.

The bland taste left after listening to each track straight through is disatisfying.
