John Bush of [[AllMusic]] gave the album 4 out of 5 stars, writing, "There's less of a party atmosphere, sometimes literally (since there are few guests), although there's still plenty of rhyming about girls and substances backed by martial snares and metronome bass claps."<ref name="allmusic"/> Philip Bloomfield of ''[[Drowned in Sound]]'' described the album as "a bold, brash, varied, slightly confused dance record with flashes of hip-hop."<ref name="drownedinsound"/> [[Will Hermes]] of ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' commented that "if there's a guiding spirit here, it's 1980s [[Prince (musician)|Prince]]: wildly funky pop music led by an impressive creative hard-on."<ref name="rollingstone"/> Puja Patel of ''[[Spin (magazine)|Spin]]'' wrote, "Employing a variety of producers, ''Everything'' undertakes a cathartic reinvention via late-night, sex-driven trips through dim, sweaty basement parties."<ref name="spin"/>
Meanwhile, Nate Patrin of ''[[Pitchfork (website)|Pitchfork]]'' was critical, writing, "[Spank Rock's] rhymes are occasionally vaguely political, sometimes intentionally disingenuous, but never confident enough to tell you just where he stands."<ref name="pitchfork"/> David Amidon of ''[[PopMatters]]'' mirrored this, stating, "''Everything Is Boring'' sounds very uninspired, very trapped in its moment, very everything ''[[YoYoYoYoYo]]'' succeeded in being the opposite of."<ref name="popmatters"/> Sam Richards of ''[[NME]]'' commented that [[Boys Noize]]'s beats "generally lack any semblance of swing or groove."<ref name="nme"/>
