Sam Stone ( CBR) wrote that Urban was one of “the real standouts of the cast this season,” explaining: “Whereas Antony Starr has played a hero constantly on the edge, with endless amounts of rage bubbling under the surface, Urban gets to explore a similar dynamic as Butcher finds himself careening off the rails with his own deep-seated issues betraying his smug demeanor.” However, it should be noted that in season three, while Urban’s character still had the same sinister charm, fans of the show got to see a softer side of Billy Butcher… Urban expertly navigates the softer sides of Billy Butcher while never losing his tough-guy veneer.” Nicholas Johnson ( Movie Web) proclaimed that Urban was “at the center of ‘The Boys ” incredibly acting lineup,” writing: “His gruff British accent is complimented by a fearsome snarl, and Urban delivers every line with vigor and venom. But his self-destructive obsession with Homelander also leads to more vulnerable beats - and Urban handles the tough-guy sensitivities well, as noted by critics. He has the physical prowess and presence to boisterously own the screen in the show’s most kinetic moments. Blood-pumping, testosterone-flying - Urban plays Butcher like Jack Sparrow as a football hooligan. As Butcher, Urban is the gruff, swaggering beating heart of the show.
