AllMusic[5]

AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated "On Everything I Love, one of pianist Sir Roland Hanna's final recordings, he is in a relaxed mood, digging into a variety of strong melodies. Hanna, who is heard throughout playing solo, strides lightly, alters the mood and tempos enough to keep one's interest, and shows that he was a masterful interpreter ... Hanna's style was based in swing but open to bop and later styles, and since he was very much a two-handed pianist, his solo outing is a constant delight".[5]

In JazzTimes Doug Ramsey wrote "His repertoire in the solo album Everything I Love consists mostly of standards and reflects a love of minor keys that encourage his blues leanings ... Through this collection of 13 songs, Hanna entertains and enlightens with inspiration and an eclecticism that never interferes with his ability to get to the heart of the music".[6]

On All About Jazz C. Michael Bailey said "Sir Roland Hanna has left us a beautiful love letter in the form of Everything I Love. We are blessed that he thought of us before leaving"[7]
