Jason Lipshutz from Billboard labelled the video as "impossibly adorable",{{cite magazine|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop-shop/1566117/taylor-swift-ed-sheeran-return-to-childhood-in-everything-has|title=Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran Return To Childhood in 'Everything Has Changed' Video: Watch|first=Jason|last=Lipshutz|magazine=Billboard|date=June 6, 2013|access-date=February 3, 2014|archive-date=September 27, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160927013829/http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop-shop/1566117/taylor-swift-ed-sheeran-return-to-childhood-in-everything-has|url-status=live}} while Ray Rahman from Entertainment Weekly compared the video's synopsis to Forrest Gump, but "much more gentle than that". The two actors who starred in the "Everything Has Changed" video appeared together again in the music video of "The Joker and the Queen" (2022), a song by Sheeran featuring Swift. To this extent, some media publications deemed "The Joker and the Queen" a sequel to the "Everything Has Changed" video.{{Cite magazine|last=Mier|first=Tomás|date=February 11, 2022|title=Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift Prove 'Everything Has Changed' With 'The Joker and the Queen' Sequel|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/ed-sheeran-taylor-swift-the-joker-and-the-queen-remix-1297107/|url-access=limited|access-date=February 11, 2022|magazine=Rolling Stone|archive-date=February 11, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220211002945/https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/ed-sheeran-taylor-swift-the-joker-and-the-queen-remix-1297107/|url-status=live}}{{Cite web|last=Willman|first=Chris|date=February 11, 2022|title=Ed Sheeran's and Taylor Swift's 'Joker and the Queen' Video Reunites Kid Cast From 2012's 'Everything Has Changed'|url=https://variety.com/2022/music/news/ed-sheeran-taylor-swift-video-duet-joker-queen-everything-has-changed-actors-1235178135/|access-date=February 11, 2022|website=Variety|archive-date=February 11, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220211002418/https://variety.com/2022/music/news/ed-sheeran-taylor-swift-video-duet-joker-queen-everything-has-changed-actors-1235178135/|url-status=live}}
