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".[1]
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."[3] Philip Bloomfield of Drowned in Sound described the album as "a bold, brash, varied, slightly confused dance record with flashes of hip-hop."[4] 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."[9] 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."[10]
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."[7] 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."[8] Sam Richards of NME commented that Boys Noize's beats "generally lack any semblance of swing or groove."[6]
