The Boston Globe called Everything's Different Now "the most confessional album since Bruce Springsteen's Tunnel of Love." USA Today deemed it "a touching meditation on the ebb and flow of love." The Chicago Tribune labeled it a "little masterpiece of melancholy." The Los Angeles Times wrote that "Mann never comes off as a bitter whiner... What comes through in these gentle but not too genteel pop songs is a profound sense of, above all, disappointment."Track listing
