The album peaked at number 67 in the United Kingdom[4] and number 102 in the United States.[5] 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".[6] 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 the best album to include "The Ghost in You" and "Heaven".[3]
