Critical reception

Alex Henderson from AllMusic noted that Dennis is "warm and convincing on such sleek and infectious dance-floor fare", as "Everybody Move".[1] 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."[2] Marc Andrews from Smash Hits commented 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".[3]

Music video

A music video was produced to promote the single, directed by Scottish television comedy director and producer Bob Spiers.
