In a retrospective review, AllMusic critic Brett Hartenbach wrote, "World of Wonders takes you across the globe, through Berlin, Chile, parts of the Caribbean, and North America. Along the way, Cockburn, who has always been intrigued by life's contradictions, is both "dazzled... at this world of wonders" and troubled, "...when life isn't so sweet." Bruce Cockburn is a complex artist writing about complex times, and World of Wonders does a good job of capturing that." [1]
