Critical reception
AllMusic editor William Cooper said, "Strong tunes and capable vocals make Everybody's Free a solid and consistent debut effort." Amy Linden from Entertainment Weekly wrote, "Rozalla’s blend of pop smarts and rave’s abandon is light-years beyond the standard-issue diva wail, and is one of the best dance records of ’92."Linden, Amy (21 August 1992). "Everybody's Free". Entertainment Weekly.
