Darren Lee, MusicOMH[4]
The album received a mixed reception.
John Bush, reviewing for Allmusic, awarded the album a rating of four out of five, stating "Juwan is even more passionate than before" (in reference to previous album, YoYoYoYoYo), although does also state that "there's less of a party atmosphere", tempering this somewhat by stating "there's still plenty of rhyming about girls and substances backed by martial snares and metronome bass claps".[2]Drowned in Sound reviewer Philip Bloomfield commented on the "lack of cohesion and continuity" when compared to the début album; however did find that this album was also a "bold, brash, varied, slightly confused dance record with flashes of hip-hop" and that "Spank Rock probably couldn't make a boring record if they tried".[3]Pitchfork's Carrie Battan called the track "Nasty" (feat. Big Freedia) "the highlight" of the album and awarded it the "Best New Track" designation.[10]
Nate Patrin, also reviewing for Pitchfork, was particularly critical, stating "his flow is either too rushed or too buried in the mix to jump out"; and that "his rhymes are occasionally vaguely political, sometimes intentionally disingenuous, but never confident enough to tell you just where he stands"; finding Spank Rock "ambivalently unserious" in this album, as opposed to a "smartassed joker on the debut".[6]PopMatters mirrored this, stating "Everything Is Boring sounds very uninspired, very trapped in its moment, very everything YoYoYoYoYo succeeded in being the opposite of".[7]
