Critical reception

[edit]

Gil L. Robertson IV from Cash Box named "Anything" a "standout track" of the Brotherhood album.[2] Connie Johnson from Los Angeles Times felt the trio's potential is best realized on the song, describing it as "a ballad so yearningly tender that it makes the rest of the album pale by comparison."[3] James Masterton for Dotmusic viewed it as "a perfectly creditable soul record".[4] Alan Jones from Music Week wrote, "Though they had the obvious advantage of having Michael Jackson as an uncle, 3T's debut single "Anything" would have been a hit regardless."[5] Helen Lamont from Smash Hits gave the single two out of five, calling it "another ever-so-pleasant, ever-so-bland swingbeat "classic"."[6]
