A number of the album's tracks were recorded in 1985 with producer Bob Sargeant. The group's first British single, "Don't Tell Me Lies", was released in January 1986 and reached No. 77 on the U.K. Singles Chart. In 1987, Chris Porter was brought on board to produce, and the band continued working on the rest of the tracks to be included on All That Jazz.[3] "Don't Tell Me Lies" was not featured on the initial U.K. release of the album (though an edited dance version was included on the US version and later album pressings worldwide). In May 1987, "Jonah" became the band's first U.S. single, and third in the U.K., but failed to chart in either territory.

The biggest hit single from the album was "Hands to Heaven", which reached No. 4 in the UK and No. 2 on the US pop chart.[8][9] Other singles from the album include three UK-only tracks - "All That Jazz", "Any Trick", and a re-release of "Jonah," - along with "How Can I Fall?", a re-release of "Don't Tell Me Lies", and "All This I Should Have Known" (U.S. only).[10]

On 25 February 2013, a Deluxe Edition of the album was issued by Cherry Pop Records.[11]

When Siren Records re-released All That Jazz on 26 September 1988, the U.S. edit of "Don't Tell Me Lies" was added to the album as track 6. A new cover design replaced the original, which had included since-departed fourth band member Michael Delahunty. The U.K. & European cassette version of the re-released album added "In All Honesty" as track B6.[13] After initial American pressings sold out, A&M started using the new U.K. cover design, but maintained the original U.S. tracklisting. Virgin Canada favoured the expanded U.K. tracklisting and packaged the album in a new cover that featured a seductively entwined couple caught mid-tango. For a brief period, this cover also appeared on some European and South American pressings.[3]
