  At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average score out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 60, based on 13 reviews, indicating "mixed or average reviews".
  
  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." Philip Bloomfield of Drowned in Sound described the album as "a bold, brash, varied, slightly confused dance record with flashes of hip-hop." Will Hermes of Rolling Stone commented that "if there's a guiding spirit here, it's 1980s Prince: wildly funky pop music led by an impressive creative hard-on." Puja Patel of Spin wrote, "Employing a variety of producers, Everything undertakes a cathartic reinvention via late-night, sex-driven trips through dim, sweaty basement parties."
  
  Meanwhile, Nate Patrin of 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." 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." Sam Richards of NME commented that Boys Noize's beats "generally lack any semblance of swing or groove."
