[6] Although the North American portion of the tour was set to end in January 2013, Bieber announced a second leg; 30 additional dates were added at various venues in the United States and Canada throughout the summer of 2013.

However, the critic also relayed the scripted nature of the production, stating, "Every decision on the night seemed like a calculated part of Bieber's attempt to execute a full Timberlake, and move from preteen deity to full-blown cross-generational pop star.
