According to the review aggregator Metacritic, World Wide Pop received "generally favorable reviews" based on a weighted average score of 70 out of 100 from 9 critic scores.[11] The Skinny's Anita Bhadani wrote that the album, "Superorganism's ambitiously weird take on pop", isn't new for subverting pop but is made more special because "in a saturated scene Superorganism have pulled off something wholly unique and – most importantly – fun." The album's "future-facing sound draws more from the 'cut-and-paste' ethos of the indie heyday than hyperpop", and while its maximalist core can sometimes be overdone such as on "Solar System", "on the whole it finds the sweet spot between chaos and structure, silliness and depth, and it's a banger."[14]

Slant Magazine's Steve Erickson wrote that the band's "sophomore effort doubles down on their copy-and-paste approach, but this time with mixed results." Given the rise of hyperpop in the intervening years since the band's 2018 debut album, "songs like "Black Hole Baby" sound kitschy and backward-looking in comparison—more Avalanches than 100 gecs." The first album's "groovier, danceable tempos have been replaced with more upbeat, jittery arrangements on World Wide Pop, and while the group's personality shines through in the album's aggressive, deceptively cheery production, the songs hint at an anxiety that's never fully fleshed out." Ultimately, the album "succumbs to sameiness, with several songs in a row set to a similarly frantic tempo and overly compressed, treble-heavy sound mix." Erickson closes by noting lyrics from "Put Down Your Phone" which "allude to the slow disintegration of our attention spans", stating that "Unfortunately, merely calling out our hyperactive attention spans doesn't prevent Superorganism from surrendering to it."[15]
