Yours Truly is the fifteenth studio album by British/Australian soft rock duo Air Supply, released in 2001. The songs "Yours Truly" and "You Are the Reason" have gained critical acclaim.
Critical reception
Jonathan Widran of AllMusic called the album as "disastrous" with the sweeping, orchestrally enhanced "You Are the Reason" the only track that comes close to capturing the "sugary charm of the band's old days." Widran criticized the album's overall production, saying it have inane lyrics, songs are mundane, and Russell Hitchcock's voice attraction is "completely suppressed" here.
