"Everybody Works displays huge breadth, which is often disguised by a relaxed pace and its effortless segues between styles. Given what a fine record she had produced here, it's very likely just the beginning for this bright new talent whose youthful angst is contradicted by the confidence present in her compositions".

"Best New Music" - "Melina Duterte's careful, wise, and excellent album is the rare debut that expands the borders of a genre. It's not bedroom-pop because it sounds a certain way, but because it feels so intimate ... Just a few years into her adult life, and only one album into her recording career, Melina Duterte has swept past a milestone many musicians never even get in their sights".

"Den unge Oakland-musiker (...) skaber et inciterende emotionelt virvar båret frem af især guitar og vokal, men også af uldne, rockende trommer. Everybody Works er et coming of age-album, der starter med det uendeligt smukke intronummer »Lipstick Stains«, hvor hun på bløde lydflader sætter ord på og tone til en uforfalsket intimitet ... Efter en vejrtrækning glider pladen over i den lige så rørende rockperle, »The Bus Song«, hvor både kærlighed og identitet bliver kigget dybt i øjnene, og hvor Jay Som viser, at stærke, unge følelser stadig kan føles friske inden for en relativt klassisk rocksammenhæng. Hvilket hun holder i live på resten af den meget fine plade".
