Just like
its predecessor, Everything produced a US Top 5 hit ("In Your Room"),
and a number one single, "Eternal Flame", which became a chart-topper in
almost every major country around the world.
The 2008 CD reissue on the Wounded Bird label (WOU 4056) adds a bonus track: "In Your Room" (12" Remix).
Despite
its chart success, Everything failed to meet sales expectations. It
subsequently became the group's last album before their nine-year hiatus
from 1989 to 1998.
Rolling Stone critic Jimmy Guterman commented,
"Bangle members wrote or co-wrote everything on Everything, and new
producer Davitt Sigerson, who helped David and David make their dark
visions palatable to the masses, encourages the Bangles to kick hard
into their songs ... by taking more chances, the Bangles sound more
comfortable than they have since their 1982 EP Bangles ... their
harmonies are the clearest and most evocative they've ever been – their
voices float, coalesce and soar. The only problem is the lyrics. The
Bangles are indeed comfortable on Everything, but the flip side to being
comfortable is being complacent. The words of 'Bell Jar,' 'Glitter
Years' and several other songs circle around ideas without zeroing in,
settling for cliche when they give up on precision. But the lyrics are
balanced by the strong music, which is everything the quartet wants it
to be."
