The Age's Kahlil Hegarty described it as "...an ode to working deadend [sic] jobs, articulating fantasies of punching supervisors in the face and outlining worstcase bad-day scenarios" and a song that Jacobson admits "has so much swearing in it and all the concepts are really gross".[4]
The song received significant airplay on Triple J[5] and the video aired on rage,[6][7] Channel V and MTV. In an interview in October 2007 lead vocalist, Eddie Jacobson, recalls
Basically, I didn’t know how to get on Triple J. There was a girl called Nicole Foote who used to host the Hip Hop show, I sent her the first EP we had which had the "Everytime" track on it, she played it a couple of times and a couple of people heard it and it started getting requested on ‘Super Request’. Then Robbie Buck asked for a copy of it, so he could play it on ‘Home and Hosed’.[8]
"Everytime" reached No. 38 in the Triple J's Hottest 100 of 2003,[9] the first appearance by the band in the Hottest 100. The song also reached No. 16 on the AIR Independent Charts in May 2003.[10]
