Bleed brakes for one caliper replacement?

I just recently replaced the driver side caliper and bled that to where there are no bubbles but now I seem to have a squishy brake pedal. If I replace one caliper do I need to bleed all the brakes? there We’re no issues with the brakes before this and I used new brake fluid. Thanks
 
At least both brakes on the same end should be bled together, but yeah, I'd do all four on general principles.

Start at the right rear. Then left rear, right front, left front.
 
If you don't have a brake bleeder, I use a clear tube (I think fish tank bubbler hose) attached to an old syringe. Push the hose on, crack the bleed valve, draw a small vacuum and close it when the bubbles stop in the tube. It's an easy cheap way to do it when you're by yourself.

Good idea. I have the HF brake bleeder that uses your compressor but I feel like it wastes a lot of fluid.
