Upon release, Cash Box described the song as a "seductive plea" and later in 1983 referred to it as an "overlooked single".[6] [7] In a review of the album, Stereo Review commented "only "All Night with Me" rises above the level of mediocrity".[8] In a retrospective review, Bryan Buss of AllMusic was critical of the song, describing it as an "over-synthesized and borderline-boring ballad", which along with the album track "Lovin' You Baby", "are so mediocre, the album would be stronger if they had simply been omitted".[2]
Songwriter Chris Montan - who had played keyboards and guitar in Karla Bonoff's touring band 1977-79 - introduced "All Night With Me" on his 1980 album Any Minute Now.[9] Also in 1980 Maxine Nightingale recorded the song for her album Bittersweet from which it was issued as a single.[10]
