The song was a number four hit in the UK, selling over 200,000 copies, becoming one of the group's highest selling singles. "Angel of Mine" was also successful in many European countries and other parts of the world, charting in around ten countries.
In 1998, American singer Monica covered the song and released it as the third single from her second studio album The Boy Is Mine (1998). The song followed the success of her previous singles "The Boy Is Mine" and "The First Night" by becoming the third chart topper released from the album to reach the top of the US Billboard Hot 100.
The single was positively received by Chuck Taylor of Billboard, who called the song "unbelievable" and "absolutely stunning." He also noted its commercial potential, claiming "this song has No. 1 stamped across its heart." The accompanying music video was directed by Diane Martel and features Tyrese as Monica's love interest.
