==Critical reception==
''All Saints'' received mixed reviews from music critics. Many critics praised the choice of singles and the group's musical direction, while some didn't enjoy the music direction and felt they lacked personality. Nick Butler from ''Sputnikmusic'' gave it a mixed review, awarding it two-and-a-half stars out of five. He felt that the musical direction and sound "hasn't aged well" but praised the group's creativity, where the group were more pleasurable than their all girl group rivals Spice Girls, as he stated they were "considered the credible alternative to the Spice Girls."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Review: All Saints – All Saints )〕 But due to comparisons with the Spice Girls, he stated "I still enjoy the singles a lot when I hear them, but if there was ever a war between the two groups, All Saints lost it."〔 Stephen Thomas Erlewine from Allmusic did not rate the album, but gave it a mixed review as well. Through the rival with the Spice Girls, he felt All Saints lacked "personality", but praised their music direction by saying "All four members have better voices than the Spices, and they all have a hand in writing at least one of the songs on their eponymous debut () More importantly, they and their producers have a better sense of contemporary dance trends – there are real hip-hop and club rhythms throughout the record ()"〔(All Saints – All Saints Review ) www.allmusic.com.〕 He highlighted "Never Ever", "I Know Where It's At" and "Lady Marmalade" as the album's best tracks.
