Critical reception

Larry Flick from Billboard wrote that the act "that scored big with "More & More" offers an equally sparkling gem from its noteworthy "Love Is Not Sex" set. Track travels down a slower, more R&B-flavored path, matching deep-voiced male rapping with sultry female belting at the chorus."[1] The Network Forty noted that "here's yet another Pop-influenced Trance/Ambient (...) number from Captain Hollywood. The vocals are very catchy and fit nicely over the hypnotic synth lines."[2] Charles Aaron from Spin commented that the "Eddie "Flashin'" "Fowlke's "Club Dub" is state-of-the-art progressive house—almost subliminal organ, stringent percussion whacks, melody via synth hunt-and-peck, lyrics stripped to a simple mantra. Room to breathe or sweat it out. The female vocals are either determined or resigned---I can't decide—which gives the groove its cryptic allure."[3]

Chart performance

"All I Want" went on to become a hit in several European countries, although it didn't reach the same level of success as the project's two first singles. It peaked at number 2 in Portugal in July 1993, as one of its best chart position. Additionally, the single managed to climb into the Top 30 in Austria, Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden, and the Top 40 in Belgium and France. On the Eurochart Hot 100, "All I Want" reached number 22. Outside Europe, it reached number 2 on the RPM Dance Chart in Canada.
