he turned to some of his secondary older material, which was still better than most people's best

Aphoristic Album Reviews
The arrangements are much fuller on sophomore album For Everyman, which helps immeasurably.
-
Entertainment Weekly
For inwardly panoramic songwriting of an apocalyptic bent, Jackson Browne's second album is rivaled only by his first (the second one wins), and Jackson himself is rivaled by nobody.

Entertainment Weekly
If you are looking for an album that will slow your heart rate and leave you feeling tranquil and satisfied, look no further than Jackson Browne's sophomore album, For Everyman.

Grinning Planet
The standout songs provide nice reference points, but the true pleasure is just putting the disc on and letting it wash over the churning folds of your mind
-
The Vinyl press
Not quite as consistent in terms of back-to-back great songs (like the first album) but what ïs here is sometimes brilliant and beautifully played.

The Vinyl District
It's powerful stuff, a lot of it

Countdown Kid
No Desert Island Collection would be complete without this release, but one would be wise to sneak in his debut album too.

the reflective evenness of Browne's delivery sets up an expectation of cogency that on this album is satisfied only by such relatively unambitious songs as "These Days," "Red Neck Friend," and the charming "Ready or Not." Which save it for me.

Record Collector Magazine
Browne is in fine form, his voice clear, strong and free of the metallic overtones it has developed since. The recording quality is good, with just a few sonic twinges

When an album’s last cut is its title track, you know you are in for a Statement

For Everyman was a less consistent collection than Browne's debut album. But Browne's songwriting ability remained impressive.
