"Break Up in the End" is the album's lead single. It has charted on both the US Billboard Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay charts in advance of the album's release. The album's second single, "Love You Too Late", was released to country radio on November 19, 2018. The album features twelve songs in total, of which Swindell co-wrote five.[1] Two other cuts, "Somebody's Been Drinkin'" and "The Ones Who Got Me Here", were also released digitally in advance of the album.[2] He will also tour on the headlining All of It Tour, which begins in St. Louis, Missouri on the day of the album's release.[3]

Of the album's title track, Swindell told the website Sounds Like Nashville that the song was chosen as the title track "because I think the album is full of every topic we could touch on."[4]

Rating it 3.5 out of 4 stars, Newsday said that the album consists of songs that are "celebrating regular life with thrilling results." He praised the lyrics of "Reason to Drink", "The Ones That Got Me Here", and "Dad's Old Number" in particular.[5] Annie Reuter of Sounds Like Nashville also praised the songwriting, and said of the album as a whole, "Whether he wrote the song or not, his emotive singing shines through, leaving a lasting impression on the listener. And, with a proven track record at radio in selecting songs that leave an impact, All of It adds to Swindell's growing catalog of hits."[6]
