In the summer of 1968, despite having many more recent Kinks tracks to choose from, he selected a song that, even when it was recorded, must have sounded old-fashioned.

The track listing for The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society was still in flux, and it is clear that Davies did not want to waste any potential candidates for the finished album as b-sides.

The song also features a guitar solo by lead guitarist Dave Davies described by Miller as "both timeless and utterly ridiculous.

"[4] "She's Got Everything" is more closely related to The Kinks' early garage rock, with its guitar driven style and simple lyrics.

An early 1966 session version with different lyrics and a French horn appeared on the 2014 50th anniversary box set, The Anthology 1964-1971.

AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine called the track a highlight from the compilation album The Kink Kronikles.
