The Boston Globe called Everything's Different Now "the most confessional album since Bruce Springsteen's Tunnel of Love."[10] USA Today deemed it "a touching meditation on the ebb and flow of love."[6] The Chicago Tribune labeled it a "little masterpiece of melancholy."[11] The Los Angeles Times wrote that "Mann never comes off as a bitter whiner... What comes through in these gentle but not too genteel pop songs is a profound sense of, above all, disappointment."[1]
