Background

Half of the tracks on Hold Me in Your Arms were written and produced by Stock Aitken Waterman and the other half were Astley's own compositions, produced by PWL associates Phil Harding, Ian Curnow and Daize Washbourn. The release of the album was delayed a few months due to a fire at PWL Studios which destroyed some of Astley's recorded material. This would be Astley's last album with Stock Aitken Waterman, due to Astley wanting to leave behind the dance-pop sound of the producers and wanting to shed his boy next door image. Astley wanted to focus on his original compositions for future albums, reappearing in 1991 with the soul album Free .

A remastered version of Hold Me in Your Arms, containing some remixes, was released on 12 April 2010. [1] A 2023 remastered edition of the album was announced to be released on 12 May 2022, including a double CD album with the reimagined versions of "She Wants to Dance with Me" and "Hold Me in Your Arms" on the CD1 from his compilation album The Best of Me , also included with B-sides, instrumentals, and remixes for the CD2 and a blue limited edition vinyl. [2] [3]

Single releases

The album spawned five singles. Unlike his previous album, where all the singles were Stock Aitken Waterman compositions and productions, Astley's compositions were also released as singles. The lead single, "She Wants to Dance with Me", was Astley's first single that he wrote himself, and became a worldwide top 10 hit. In Europe, "Take Me to Your Heart" and "Hold Me in Your Arms" were released as the next singles. "Giving Up on Love" was released as the second single from the album in the US and Canada, and was later released in some countries of continental Europe as the fourth and last single from the album, and a cover of The Temptations' "Ain't Too Proud to Beg" was released as the third and last single in the US and Japan.

Critical reception

A review in Pan-European magazine Music & Media stated that this album proves Astley can be a songwriter and a co-producer, added that "stylistically, the fabrication of carefree and functional dance hits is still the main objective", and considered "Giving Up On Love", "I Don't Want to Be Your Lover" and "Take Me to Your Heart" as the best tracks. [4] Number One gave a very enthusiastic review: "We say hoorah! Some pundits say this sounds exactly like Rick's last disc, but this isn't a bad thing. It just means there's more swirling singalongs", citing "Take Me to Your Heart", "She Wants to Dance with Me" and "Ain't Too Proud to Beg". [5] Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic deemed "apart from "She Wants to Dance With Me", Astley's second album didn't have songs as strong as those on his debut. Most of the album was pleasant dance-pop filler". [6] A review in Music Week underlined "Hold Me in Your Arms", "Take Me to Your Heart" and "Ain't Too Proud to Beg" from the album, while stating the tracks "stick to the SAW formula". [7]
