Critical reception

In its 2003 release as part of Boom Box, Everything in Time was described as "certainly worth having" by Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic in a review for the box set. RockMusicReview called the song "Full Circle", from Everything in Time, one of the highlights of Boom Box. In its 2004 solo release, few people reviewed Everything in Time because it was not a studio album. However, Laura Sinagra for Blender

magazine reviewed the album, giving it three stars out of five. She described it as containing "endearing, younger examples of the marriage-minded tomboy [Gwen Stefani] agonizing over the task of taming restless playboys". She complimented "New Friend", "Under Construction" and both versions of "Everything in Time" as "satisfying laments" with "truth-serum lyrics", and praised Stefani's "just-a-girl sass" in "Oi to the World". However she criticized "Big Distraction" and "Leftovers", which in her opinion were "pale beside the singles [The Singles 1992–2003]". Both Allmusic and Artistdirect
