Matt Collar of AllMusic wrote that the album "feels like a love letter to the earthy, blues-influenced work of artists like Bill Withers and Otis Redding" and found that "all of the rootsy soulfulness Astley embraces on Are We There Yet? is far removed from the studio sophistication of his early hits. That said, it feels genuine and hard-won by age and experience." [4] Retropop called it "some of his finest work since the 1980s" and felt that the "direction [...] perfectly compliments Astley's distinctive vocals, be it on mid tempo guitar-led numbers like 'Letting Go' and 'Golden Hour', or more R&B-leaning tunes in the vein of 'Never Gonna Stop' and 'Waterfall'".

[ bettersourceneeded] We went to Nashville and there was music on every corner—Nashville just seems to live and breathe it a little more. ‘Golden Hour’ isn’t country exactly, but it’s definitely leaning on that and on that songwriting thing of trying to be as simple as possible. Some of the lyrics refer to my wife and I. We’ve known each other since 1987 and she manages me, so we work together. We traveled on buses around America for three months, and we realized that we are in a golden hour in the sense of age as well. You can be in a golden hour when you’re 20, but we also feel we’re getting on a bit and we have to enjoy this, because I don’t know how long anybody’s going to let me in a venue and sing anymore. We’re in a golden hour together as well because we’re still together after all these years.

Your wife, Lene Bausager , is Danish, and you’ve been together since 198 9. What’s the secret of a long relationship? I feel like life is a bit of a waterfall and I’m under it—and sometimes it feels lovely and it’s great and I’m having a lovely shower in it, it’s nature, and it’s wonderful. And sometimes I’m drowning and I’m really struggling. I feel I see that in a lot of my friends, and you see it in the wider world. It’s about the fact that life is amazing and great, but it’s also really tough sometimes, and we’re all under that waterfall and we do all need a little bit of healing sometimes. The hope is we’ll get through it and I think music sometimes gets me through it.” For "Can You Feel the Love Tonight": "Chart Archive > 17 July 1994 – 23 July 1994". Official Charts Company.

The answer was no. “I quit when I was 27,” he says. “Listen, I don’t think the record company was pleading with me to stay, but I thought: just walk out now while nobody’s looking. It was time to stop.” He adds: “I didn’t sing for about 15 years.”

The internet can be very brutal for younger artists, but it can also be an amazing tool, where you can post something intimate, from the horse’s mouth, without gatekeepers.

I’m a bit of a snob with wine these days. Not super-expensive stuff – only at Christmas or something – but I like a Chilean chardonnay or a posh white burgundy. My Danish friends have this joke where they sniff any wine I’ve brought and say “buttery”, as that’s apparently what I do. I’m not sure why it came when it did, but that first line – “When I was a boy/ I saw my daddy crying at the steering wheel” – fell out of me. It’s a true memory. That was a different era, when boys looked up to their dads as strong, silent types, and it frightened me. Joining a choir, and then teenage bands, got me out of the house, and singing made me feel other emotions, like joy. Some people think it’s a bit strong when they hear someone saying music saved my life, but for me there’s definitely something in that. Hardly any women used to work in live music crews, but we now have a female lighting director, a female guitar tech, female monitors, which is brilliant. It’s mind-boggling to think there used to be a time when girls were told: “You can’t do those jobs – go to wardrobe, love.”
