Critical reception

Kelefa Sanneh from The New York Times named it amongst some of the excellent songs on the album, calling it "[...] loud [and] melancholy[...]".[2] Preston Jones from Slant Magazine stated that it felt "[...] like the estrogenically inclined counterparts to the boy-toy confection that is the Click Five's Greetings From Imrie House."[3] Ryan Dombal from Entertainment Weekly reviewed the remix version of "Everything I'm Not", stating that the track might finally break them into the US mainstream.[4]

Music video

The "Everything I'm Not" music video featured The Veronicas singing with their band while trashing a car of an ex-boyfriend, apparently named Ryan, for cheating on Lisa by painting and smashing the car with paint buckets while the ex-boyfriend looked on from a video camera. When it's too much for the ex-boyfriend to handle, he drops his cell phone on the ground. In the end, it seems like the police catch them doing it and they slam down the camera, smashing the ex-boyfriend's chances of seeing his car for the final time.
