The album was well received by critics. Steve Losey, of AllMusic, gave the album 4 stars out of 5 while praising both Mark Stuart's vocals and Tyler Burkum's playing. [1] John DiBiase, of Jesus Freak Hideout, gave the album 3.5 stars out of 5, writing that the album "offers some of the most memorable moments for the band". Despite criticizing the track "Start a Fire" for contrasting too much with the rest of the album, DiBiase closes his review by saying "Worldwide is a great album to start off a promising year for releases in CCM and will easily be one of the best projects of 2003".
