''For Every One'' was well received by critics.
In a starred review from ''[[School Library Journal]]'', Jill Heritage Maza discussed how "the book's unconventionality, tone, spirit, and design will remind Reynolds' most dedicated fans of his first book, ''My Name Is Jason. Mine, Too: Our Story. Our Way''," co-written with Jason Griffin. Maza highlighted how the book's premise "that even a successful author can doubt themselves will be revelatory to teens."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Maza |first=Jill Heritage |date=2018 |title=For Every One |url=https://www.slj.com/review/for-every-one |access-date=2024-08-06 |website=[[School Library Journal]] |archive-date=June 9, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230609114351/https://www.slj.com/review/for-every-one |url-status=live }}</ref> ''[[Kirkus Reviews]]'' described the book as providing "hope and reassurance to teens as they try to make sense of their own dreams for the future."
