A
Critical reception
In a review for In Through the Out Door (Deluxe Edition), Andrew Doscas of PopMatters described "All My Love" as "the saddest and most heartfelt Zeppelin song."[5] Doscas described the song as "a fitting ode to Plant's son, which hauntingly enough sounds like a foreshadowing of a band on the path to an impending and unforeseeable dissolution.[5]
In its 1999 list of "Top 500 Tracks", Radio Caroline ranked the song at number 239.[6]
In an interview he later gave to rock journalist Cameron Crowe, Plant stated that this song was one of Led Zeppelin's "finest moments".[7] However, guitarist Jimmy Page and drummer John Bonham had reservations about the song's soft rock sound.[8]
