All the Best is a greatest hits album by English singer-songwriter Leo Sayer, released in 1993. The collection reached number 26 in the UK Albums Chart, [3] marking Sayer's return to that chart after almost a decade's absence [3] and becoming his twelfth UK Albums Chart entry. [3]

According to AllMusic, All the Best "lives up to its title, offering 17 of Leo Sayer's most popular pop efforts, including each of his Top 40 singles". [2]

As well as his fourteen UK top 40 singles, the album adds the US Billboard top 40 hit "Living in a Fantasy", and Sayer's version of the hit he wrote for Roger Daltrey, " Giving It All Away". The US version of the album also includes the US top 40 hit " Easy to Love".
