Critical reception edit
Alex Henderson from AllMusic felt that Dennis is "warm and convincing on such sleek and infectious dance-floor fare", as "Everybody Move".[2] Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "After the soft and pleasing "Too Many Walls", Dennis returns to her dance roots for an instantly contagious pop/house twirler. Already racking up club adds, fourth shot from hit-packed Move to This debut album sounds like another sure-fire multiformat smash."[3] Marc Andrews from Smash Hits noted that here, the singer "returns to more familiar ground with this dance stormer a la Vogue ('tis the season obviously). And, good news ahoy, it seems certain to provide Cathy from Norwich with the fifth hit from her five-hits-from-the-one-LP".[4]
Music video edit
