Behar compared Selena's projects and future album plans to those of a living artist. Despite her repertoire being emptied of unreleased material,[24][a] Behar emphasized the label's ongoing support of Selena's releases with significant investment.[24] He said the public were oblivious to Selena's repertoire before her affiliation with EMI Latin, saying these recordings had the potential for creative reconfiguration. Behar also stated the label's main aim was to safeguard Selena's music and her influence in a manner similar to the eminence achieved by the Beatles, Elvis Presley, and the Beach Boys.[29] According to Behar, All My Hits: Todos Mis Éxitos Vol. 2 is dedicated to Selena's fans, emphasizing the label's efforts to approach every aspect, from packaging to marketing, as though Selena were present.[30]

Music critics gave All My Hits: Todos Mis Éxitos Vol. 2 a positive response and praised the compilation for highlighting Selena's versatility and adaptability.[b] Writing for Newsday, Richard Torres said the compilation provides a suitable overview of Selena's work,[48] while AllMusic said Selena's talents are discernible by those listening to the album and praised her streamlined transitions between pop and Latin music.[1] The musical styles in the compilation were compared to the stylings of Julio Iglesias and Gloria Estefan's Miami Sound Machine.[32] Scholar Ramiro Burr called it "another collection of hits" and[22] Houston Chronicle's Joey Guerra said it is "another creative" compilation that offers pop and cumbia tracks.[2] J. Carlos Villanueva of Total Musicales praised Selena's vocals and the quality of the compositions, and hailed it as a recording with a captivatingly rhythmic nature.[50]
While some reviews questioned the inclusion of certain recordings, others found All My Hits: Todos Mis Éxitos Vol. 2 resonates with completists and hard-core fans, and noting casual listeners may discover a paucity of newer material.
Commercial performance
EMI Latin's promoter John Ortiz said All My Hits: Todos Mis Éxitos Vol. 2 would have a limited availability of 90 days and was accompanied by the release of "Cien Años".[53] Guerra said the inclusion of "Cien Años" would significantly contribute to the album's sales.[29] All My Hits: Todos Mis Éxitos Vol. 2 was released on February 29, 2000,[1] and sold 400,000 units in advanced copies.[54] It debuted at number three on the US Billboard Top Latin Albums chart, selling 10,500 units in its initial week. The album trailed the debuts of Shakira's MTV Unplugged and Los Temerarios's En la Madrugada Se Fue. The compilation entered the US Billboard 200 at number 157 and the US Regional Mexican Albums chart at number two.[55] Burr noted Selena's ability to secure the third position on the chart despite the lack of new material was a "phenomenal" feat.[15] In its second week, La Jornada's Arturo Cruz Bárcenas noted the album's position at number four on the Top Latin Albums chart. During an interview with Burr, he highlighted Selena's influence on younger generations and the compilation's ascent on the charts as an affirmation of Latin artists' ability to achieve commercial success.[56]
During the week commemorating Selena's death, the album peaked at number one on both the Top Latin Albums and Regional Mexican Albums charts, selling 8,000 units, which was consistent with the preceding week's sales figures. John Lannert of Billboard interpreted the plateaued sales during the singer's anniversary as an indication of the waning retail power of Selena's music. Lannert said All My Hits: Todos Mis Éxitos Vol. 2 is an indication of Selena's "legendary status" and her capacity to reach the number-one position even five years after her death.[57] Reaching sales of 400,000 units by the end of March,[58] All My Hits: Todos Mis Éxitos Vol. 2, along with recent releases from Shakira and Los Temerarios, contributed to a surge in Latin album sales in the United States during the month.[59]
All My Hits: Todos Mis Éxitos Vol. 2 ranked at number 42 on Billboard's quarterly Top Latin Albums chart, which evaluated the highest-selling Latin albums from January through April 2000.[60] In a mid-year recap, the album was listed in second place on the Regional Mexican Albums list.[61] Based on Nielsen SoundScan music sales, All My Hits: Todos Mis Éxitos Vol. 2 was the 13th-best-selling Latin album by September 9, 2000.[62] By the close of 2000, the album was the 13th-best-selling Top Latin Album and the second-most-successful Regional Mexican Album.[63] The compilation was nominated for Best Greatest Hits Album of the Year at the 2001 Billboard Latin Music Awards[64] and Favorite Latino Album at the sixth Blockbuster Entertainment Awards.[65] In January 2003, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) certified All My Hits: Todos Mis Éxitos Vol. 2 double Platinum (Latin), denoting 200,000 shipments in the United States.[66]
