Four singles were released from the album. The album's lead single, "Dance Dance d'Amour", failed to chart. The second single, "If I Could Only Say Goodbye" became his first UK chart entry, peaking at number 35. The third single was the German version of "A Star Looks Down Tonight", titled "Wir zwei allein" as a duet with German singer Gwen, which became the album's most successful single, reaching the top ten in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. "The Best is Yet to Come" served at the fourth and final single from the album, however, it failed to chart.

You Are Everything was another success, reaching the top ten in Austria, the top twenty in Germany and the top thirty in Switzerland. It was also certified Gold in Austria and Switzerland.

To promote the album, Hasselhoff appeared on several TV shows across Europe, including Hitparade in Germany, Club Dorothée in France, and his debut performance at Top of the Pops in the United Kingdom. It also was supported with a tour in March 1994 across Germany. After the promotion of the album in Europe, on June 17, 1994, Hasselhoff was scheduled to perform a concert on pay-per-view from Atlantic City. The concert was expected to launch his singing career in the United States. However, on the night of the concert, O. J. Simpson was involved in his slow-speed chase in southern California. Viewership of the concert was significantly lower than expected due to the live coverage of the chase, and the event was ultimately a $1.5 million loss.[1] Hasselhoff joked that "90 million people watched O. J. and three people watched me, including me and my mom and my dad".[2]

The album was re-released that year under the title Miracle of Love,[3] which was also the name of one of the tracks from the original You Are Everything album. This version didn't include the songs "Hot Shot City", "Sunday Dreaming", "Highway to Your Heart" and "Caribbean Partytime". Instead, it was included a new song, "Blame It On the Night".
