Mark Shenton wrote in The Stage that McElderry "may just be the best sung Joseph there's ever been, bringing a vocal flair to Joseph that's utterly ravishing". John Wood of North West End wrote: "McElderry has been good from the moment the curtain rose; he has a good voice, obviously, and can really handle the comedy, but on Close Every Door he completely takes over, his voice filled with emotion and absolutely soaring; he has the audience breathless. He has made it his own and I can't imagine anyone performing it better. For his efforts he receives rapturous applause." On 1 October 2016 he started his Northern Light Tour.

In an interview with Real Radio that aired on 13 July 2011, McElderry, when speaking about his commercial struggles, said: "I think a lot of it was to do with the fact that I went away for so long ... I think we left it a bit too late with releasing the album. But I think it's also down to the label." He said that there were "timing issues" and, "We missed out on a few things".

On 14 July 2011, McElderry told BBC Newcastle that he "wasn't happy" when he was with Syco. He said that Syco had made mistakes "timing-wise" and in "the marketing side of things." He added that he was "happy" with his album, Wide Awake, although, if he had to do it over again, "maybe" he would have included "a few more ballads." But he added that the album's songs gave him "some great fast material" to perform alongside ballads when he performed live, and also said that, when he was making the album, he wanted to show that he could be "diverse" and perform fast songs as well as ballads of the type that he had performed on X Factor.

McElderry also told BBC Newcastle: "I just needed to go out and explore on my own and fend for myself a bit instead of being in this huge kind of establishment that kind of protected us. I needed to go out there and be a proper artist and fend for myself, by myself, and do things my way."

McElderry also stated that his split with Syco was amicable, and there was no "fight" between them. He told Tony Horne, "I'm still great friends with all the team there."
