When asked why he again bring a new album on the market after a long time, Lennon said in 2009: "I can not change it - it just struck me melodies and ideas for lyrics one, regardless of whether I want to or not. Sometimes it tortures me really, so I think I need to get rid of and write down somehow. " In an interview in 2011, he added: "I get anxious if I do not take every now and then a guitar in hand or can sit at the piano. [ ... ] I have to do that, I have no choice. "

Criticism

Andrew Perry on Daily Telegraph Everything Changes were 2 of 5 stars and wrote that the album " a lethargic exercise in dogmatic, pseudo- Imagine- moderate Rumgequäle about the wickedness of the world" was that Lennon did not help, finally out of the shadow of the father to occur.

The Daily Express was 3 of 5 stars and found that some of the titles " something of the charm of the best John Lennon songs " have, Julian Lennon's voice resembles that of his father and the atmosphere of the album is so relaxed and grown up, as one would expect from would have come to expect a fast- Fifty Years'. It concluded: " Pretty stuff".
