It peaked at number-one in Belgium and became a Top 10 hit in Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Switzerland. The song was also released in Italy and Spain. There were various formats, including many remixes.

Critical reception

Larry Flick from Billboard commented, "After a mediocre showing in the "Please Don't Go" battle against KWS, Italo-pop/house act lunges for crossover radio approval with a cute, retro-minded disco twirler. An anthemic chorus and old-fashioned string and piano fills give the song charm."[1] Music Week said the song is "great", adding that "it has a very similar organ-driven poppy disco sound and should give them the success they deserve."[2]

Music video

The music video of "We All Need Love" was directed by Italian director Giacomo De Simone.[3] De Simone has directed music videos for many other Eurodance acts, like Corona, Ice MC and Whigfield.
