(1998)

"All I Want Is You" is a song by English boy band 911. It was released through Virgin Records on 23 March 1998 as the second single from their second studio album, Moving On (1998), and peaked at number four on the UK Singles Chart. It was 911's second song to chart in New Zealand, where it reached number 34.

Critical reception

[edit]

A reviewer from Music Week declared the song as a "simple but effective mid-tempo schmaltzy number [that] has Bee Gees-like harmonies and ventures into the same sort of AOR/soul lite territory as The Lighthouse Family."[2] The magazine's Alan Jones wrote, "911 deliver their slickest single yet with "All I Want Is You", whose glossy sheen and overall feel attempt to emulate the even more successful Backstreet Boys. It's not as strong a song as the last few Backstreet Boys releases, though the group's fervent fans — about to be whipped into a new frenzy by a 911 tour — will doubtless make this an instant Top 10 smash."[3]
