Editorial Review:
From its tongue-in-cheek cover art on down, Barenaked Ladies’s Everything to Everyone is a surprisingly tough-minded survey of early 21st-century culture. Often accused of being too clever for their own good, Toronto’s Ladies here provide a good deal of subtlety along with the expected tunefulness and genre-hopping. "Testing 1,2,3" is a complex song about nostalgia, singing in a rock & roll band that’s loved for perhaps narrow reasons, and watching one’s ex-girlfriend find a new lover. "Maybe Katie" presents two different views of the male fear of commitment before dropping a key bit of information about its title subject. And "Shopping" is a fist-in-velvet-glove tune in the tradition of the Housemartins’s "Happy Hour;" could its happy-go-lucky chorus be a skewering of George W. Bush’s pro-commerce response to Sept. 11? At the very least, it demonstrates that these guys fully understand the art and the implications of being all things to all people. --Rickey Wright
Everything to Everyone Reviews:
Very Underrated Album 
2009-07-16 - A lot of people disliked this album upon it's release. Sure, maybe it doesn't have quite as many great songs as some of BNL's other albums, but personally I enjoyed it quite a bit when I bought it. I had immediately fallen in love with "Celebrity," "Second Best," "Aluminum," "Unfinished," "Upside Down," and even "Another Postcard," (I know, very similar to One Week, and BNL probably was trying to capitalize on it's success, but so what? Why not? It worked with "Pinch Me," and I really enjoy "Another Postcard.") I think people disliked the album for the more political aspect of it and the different sort of style to it. But I loved this album, and I feel that it is terribly underrated, by critics and fans alike. Not my favorite album by them but definitely NOT my least favorite either.
Excellent 
2009-05-15 - Product arrived promptly and in new condition as promised. Would definitely buy from again
Changing style, not a bad thing!
2009-05-10 - This album is where BNL started to become a little more serious, that is not a bad thing. This album is awesome, possibly their best. It has such great songs, including "Celebrity", "Maybe Katie", "Another Postcard" and "War On Drugs". I also love the album art, it is beautiful and very well done. This is the band becoming more mature, and changing with the time. It is a great pleasure to own this CD!
I liked this CD!!
2007-04-08 - Well, I am a bit of a BNL fan. My first album that I got was "Gordon" back in the 90's....I also have "Stunt" and "Greatest Hits". I happened to buy this album from an online auction thinking I'd give it to a friend when I visit her next month...I even told her I'd got it for her. But after a few listens I am really hooked on this album and will now have to buy another copy so we can have one each!!
Not the best, but it grows on you... 
2007-03-28 - I originally came to bury this album, not to praise it. Upon first listening to it, my disgust was unbounded. Could this pathetic dreck be from the same band that produced "Maroon" and "Stunt", two desert-island albums of which pretty much every song is great? However, with additional listening, it kind of grows on you. It's not up to the standards of their best albums, and it contains several embarrassing tracks, like the stupid, trying-too-hard-to-be-whimsical "Another Postcard", but it's got some pretty good ones too, i.e. "War on Drugs", "Maybe Katie", "Have You Seen My Love?" All in all, it's a good, fun album in the BNL tradition.
