The song reached No. 1 in the UK Singles Chart in April 1998, selling 200,000 copies in the UK and earning a silver sales certification. Outside the UK, "All That I Need" reached No. 1 in Ireland and Taiwan and No. 7 in Sweden.

Critical reception

A reviewer from Music Week noted that the band "move ever further from Osmonds covers territory to adult respectability. "All That I Need", containing a notably sensitive vocal from Ronan Keating, is the first evidence of a more mature sound for their forthcoming album Where We Belong , due out at the end of this month. A well-crafted ballad, the single last week climbed into the Airplay Top 20 as radio's fastest-growing track and should have little trouble becoming the group's 11th consecutive top five hit at the very least."
