Hold Me in Your Arms is the second studio album by English singer Rick Astley, released on 26 November 1988 by RCA Records.

It helped to continue Astley's commercial success, with it achieving Platinum and Gold certifications worldwide and three of the five singles from the album becoming Top 10 hits in the United Kingdom.

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.

[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.

[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".
