News' Liz Rowley wrote that "All I Ask" leaves listeners with "a solid sense of accepting love lost, and clears up the dreadful finality that resignation brings with it," and stated that it "arrives at an emotional plane that's devastating yet utterly relatable".[12][13] Christina Garibaldi of MTV wrote that it is an emotional "song of desperation" and that the listener can feel Adele's heart "break into a million pieces".[14] Neil McCormick of The Telegraph described "All I Ask" as a "deep, resonant piano ballad".[15] Tom Breihan of Stereogum called "All I Ask" a weeper and likened it to the works of American singer Barbra Streisand.[16]
Slate's Forrest Wickman stated that the singer seeks one last night with a lover, before they part their separate ways.[17] As part of a positive review of 25, Andy Gill of The Independent opined that Adele seems to be jinxing a relationship for the sake of one last memory.[18] The New York Times' Jon Caramanica listed "All I Ask" as the fifth best song of 2015.[19] In a rave review, he observed a palpable gear shift and called the song a "masterpiece", adding that it is "even bigger than the legend".[20]Natalie Finn of E! considered the song's lyrics "It matters how this ends / cause what if I never love again?" as the most emotional from 25.[21] In a generally positive review, Vanity Fair's Josh Duboff opined that an album listener was most likely to sing "All I Ask" "in [their] shower again and again".[22]
"All I Ask" is a song recorded by English singer and songwriter Adele for her third studio album 25 (2015). The song was written by Adele, Bruno Mars, Philip Lawrence and Christopher Brody Brown, while production of the track was handled by The Smeezingtons, a songwriting and record producing trio, consisting of Mars, Lawrence, and Ari Levine. According to Slate's Forrest Wickman, the song lyrically discusses the singer looking for one last night with a lover, before they go their separate ways.
"All I Ask" peaked at number 41 on the UK Singles Chart and at number 77 on the Billboard Hot 100. To promote the song, Adele performed "All I Ask" during Adele Live in New York City, on The Late Late Show with James Corden, on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and at the 58th Annual Grammy Awards. The latter performance garnered controversy due to technical issues; Adele stated afterwards that the piano microphones fell on to the piano strings, causing the glitch." Wikipedia
