The album peaked at No. 67 in the UK Albums Chart[6] and No. 102 in the US Billboard 200 chart.[7] AllMusic writer Michael Sutton said the album "effectively summarizes the Psychedelic Furs' evolution from a left-of-center British rock band to a stylish alternative pop act".[2] A Rolling Stone review was critical of the album for omitting too many of the band's early singles, such as "Run and Run" and "Into You Like a Train", though it also called All of This and Nothing their best album to include "The Ghost in You" and "Heaven".[5]
