AllMusic[2]

The AllMusic review by Dan LeRoy awarded the album 4½ stars and states "this set of tight, polished alt-rock was his best outing of the '80s, and is perhaps his finest album ever... Anyone wanting to explore Kuepper's substantial and often superb back catalog will find Everybody's Got To the perfect place to start".[2]
