When all is said and done, Everything to Everyone manages to be good for many.
Read Full Review >Entertainment Weekly
It's the earnest attempts... that linger beyond a knowing snicker. [24 Oct 2003, p.106]
ShakingThrough.net
To be sure, Everything to Everyone certainly packs in the humorous moments that were largely lacking from the group's last album, 2000's Maroon. But it also shows principal songwriters Steven Page and Ed Robertson reflecting on weightier topics related to the band's double-edged popularity.

This may be the point at which even those well-disposed to the nice and the quirky start to note diminishing returns.
Read Full Review >PopMatters
There's good music here, sure, and it's not a boring or painful listen, but nothing really stands out.
Read Full Review >All Music Guide
Everything to Everyone is probably Barenaked Ladies' most honest album -- always touching, but serious and completely open for the first time in their 15-year career.
Read Full Review >Q Magazine
The pleasure rapidly dissipates over 17 formulaic numbers, some of which come with an accordion. [May 2004, p.98]
Blender
The record feels uneven, as the oscillation between frivolous and serious makes both less convincing. [Nov 2003, p.108]
Launch.com
Their rhythms jump all over the place and their vocals are so determined to land that punchline that it all ends up sounding like one smarmy mess.

The DVD version gets a 10. The surround sound version sounds great (although you need a DVD-Audio player), but the real treat is the entire album performed live with acoustic instruments. The acoustic version better and more honest than the CD version.
Billy H gave it a10:
Yall who rated it a 2/3 suck... this is an awesome band releasing an awesome cd the critics suck too...
jennifer w gave it a 10:
These guys are the antidote for a music industry that takes themselves entirely too seriously.
Emily H gave it a 10:
I loved most of the songs on this album. There was only one that I thought was bad. I thought the songs were very catchy. Most songs on the radio today are bad influenses. I loved this cd because it took me away for the things of this world and put me in a place that was still realistic but sumwhat relaxing and a little silly. I had more fun listening to this cd than any other cd I have ever heard before.
Jeff H gave it a 9:
Excellent!!!!!!!! Just saw them live at the Uptown Theatre in KC. Almost 3 hours. They played every song on this CD. Very upbeat. Great live performers. The CD is solid; very typical of what the diehard BNL fans were hoping for.......
Michael E gave it a 10:
So much to listen to here, and what really stands out are the words...so universal.
Brennan D gave it an 8:
Not the best BNL album. But it is extremely catchy and is well crafted. It is a must buy record!
