"Ever" in this context means at "any time". "Ever" here is used to emphasize that the impression is the very worst or the absolute worst, as "ever" implies that at any time in history, this was the worst impression. Here's a few examples of "ever": Ex: Today was the best day ever! Ex: This is the best cup of coffee I've ever had.
