Release and reception edit

"All My Love" was commercially released in the United States on January 20, 1998 and in the United Kingdom on April 27, 1998.[2][3] British columnist James Masterton called the track a "brilliant" song and noted that it was a much better effort than Queen Pen's debut, "Man Behind the Music", while Music & Media magazine referred to the song as "catchy beyond belief".[4][5]

In the US, "All My Love" peaked at number 28 on the Billboard Hot 100, number 17 on the Hot R&B Singles chart, and number 11 on the Hot Rap Songs chart.[6][7][8] In Canada, the track rose to number 21 on the RPM Dance ranking.[9] On May 3, 1998, "All My Love" debuted at its peak of number 11 on the UK Singles Chart, staying in the top 100 for five weeks.[10] Across the rest of Europe, the single entered the top 50 in France and Germany.[11][12] The record was a number-one hit in New Zealand, where it stayed atop the RIANZ Singles Chart for four weeks, earned a gold certification for selling over 5,000 copies, and ended 1998 as the country's 13th-most-successful song.[13][14][15]
