Just like its predecessor, Everything produced a US Top 5 hit ("In Your Room"), and a number one single, "Eternal Flame," which became a chart-topper in almost every major country around the world.

In their review, Billboard noted that "smashing rock/pop set is first from the Los Angeles girl group since double-platinum Different Light three years ago, and new album should do the trick again for the quartet.

Leadoff single "In Your Room," a teen dream fantasy, is a sure thing; "Bell Jar" and "Eternal Flame" are strong follow -up contenders."

[5] Cashbox stated "their long-awaited follow-up to Different Light is more of the same-go-go '60s girl-guitar-pop with sweet harmonies and plentiful hooks - which is a blessing for radio listeners everywhere.

The words of "Bell Jar," "Glitter Years" and several other songs circle around ideas without zeroing in, settling for cliché when they give up on precision.
