Editors at AnyDecentMusic? rate this release an 8.1 out of 10, based on 14 scores.[2] According to the review aggregator Metacritic, Everyone's Crushed received "universal acclaim" based on a weighted average score of 84 out of 100 from 14 critic scores.[3]

Editors at AllMusic rated this album 4 out of 5 stars, with critic Heather Phares writing the band "level[s] up their genre-mashing sound" with each new album and sums up that this release is their "most consistently gripping music, the cohesion of Everyone's Crushed lends a new vantage point to their music—and it's an exciting one".[4] In Exclaim!, Tom Piekarski rated Everyone's Crushed an 8 out of 10, writing that it has "inescapable charm" and "there isn't a single moment on Everyone's Crushed that isn't crafted to perfection".[5] In The Guardian's 4-out-of-5 star review, Alexis Petridis writes that the band has been able to refine their sound over the past several albums to produce "the only recent album that sounds the way it does".[6] Joshua Mills of The Line of Best Fit exhorts listeners that this album "demands close attention" writing that the band's vulnerability and lyrics "keep us at arm’s length, but eager to burrow deep and discover everything this album has to offer".[7]In Paste, Grant Sharples rated this work an 8.3 out of 10 and discussed the band's evolving genres and the chemistry between the two band members, calling them "one of the most innovative, exciting creative partnerships of the moment".[8]

Another 8.3 out of 10 came from Cat Zhang of Pitchfork Media, where this album was chosen as Best New Music of the week and the reviewer writes that the "music sounds awesome" with "its livewire sound".[9] A 9 out of 10 came from Christopher J. Lee of PopMatters who praised the band for being "inescapably singular" and for the group's high musicianship and ability to experiment.[10] Rolling Stone's editors gave this release the "Hear This" label to highlight it and critic Kory Grow writes that the "chaos" in the band's experimentation "frequently works in the duo’s favor".[13] In The Skinny, Tony Inglis gave this work 4 out of 5 stars, stating that "it’s pleasingly hard to decipher if the band are at any point saying anything with any sincerity" in a "panoply of wrongfooting sounds".[11] At Stereogum, this was the Album of the Week and reviewer James Rettig wrote that this release digs "more into the abstract side of their sound" than previous albums.[14] In a June round-up of the best albums of 2023, the publication placed this at 14, with Chris DeVille characterizing it as "somewhere between cyberpunk and indie-pop, held together by Brown’s bewildered humanity amidst the clatter".[15] Mark Moody of Under the Radar considers Eveyrone's Crushed "the summer soundtrack for those that hate summery soundtracks" and Water from Your Eyes "one of the most interesting acts in music these days"; he rates this album an 8 out of 10.[12]
