''I'll Give All My Love to You'' is the second studio album by American R&B recording artist Keith Sweat. It was released on June 12, 1990, and went to #1 on the Top R&B albums chart and #6 on the ''Billboard'' 200. It spawned Sweat's second and third #1 R&B hits: "Make You Sweat" and the title track (both Top 20 pop hits), while "Merry Go Round" and "Your Love Part 2" were Top 5 R&B hits. This was also the last Keith Sweat album under Vincent Davis' Vintertainment label, which would sever ties with Elektra soon after the release of this album. On March 7, 1991, ''I'll Give All My Love to You'' was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America, for shipments of two million copies in the United States.〔(RIAA - Gold & Platinum: Keith Sweat ).

Muze. CD Universe. Retrieved on 2011-04-17.〕 In his consumer guide for ''The Village Voice'', critic Robert Christgau gave the album a "dud" rating,〔Christgau, Robert (1990). (Robert Christgau: CG: Keith Sweat ). ''The Village Voice''. Robert Christgau. Retrieved on 2011-04-17.〕 indicating "a bad record whose details rarely merit further thought".〔Christgau, Robert (October 15, 2000). (Robert Christgau: CG 90s: Key to Icons ). Robert Christgau.

Retrieved on 2011-04-17.〕 In a retrospective review, Allmusic editor Alex Henderson called the album "a respectable disc that sounds consistently heartfelt and sincere", writing that "For all its high-tech production gloss and use of hip-hop elements, this self-produced CD reminds you that Sweat is quite aware of the great soul music of the 1970s".〔Henderson, Alex (August 1, 2003).
