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."
