Writing for Allmusic, critic Thom Jurek wrote "It's an unusual live record because its balance of sonic precision and stage-born kinetics is perfect—this band transitions seamlessly between R&B, blues, rock, gospel, and jazz. These performances never succumb to mere jam band clichés... Everybody's Talkin' is what every live album should be: an accurate, exciting reflection of a hot band playing full-throttle." He especially praised Tedeschi as "among the truly great singers in modern blues and rock; by turns graceful and grainy, her expression reaches the spiritual in execution."[3] Will Layman of PopMatters praised the performances and called it "the kind of music that shamelessly moves at you with emotion and soul".[4] Doug Collette of All About Jazz generally praised the album, especially the sound, but was critical of the length of the songs, commenting on the "shortage of instrumental fireworks".[2]

The review aggregator site, Metacritic calculated an average score of 75 based on 6 reviews.[6]
