The album has received mainly positive reviews, with most reviewers citing the album as very similar to most of Motörhead's past works due to the band essentially following the same formula.

Eduardo Rivadavia of AllMusic reviewed the album positively and commented that it may be remembered as Motörhead's "ultimate 'rock & roll' album". Rivadavia cited I Know How to Die and Outlaw as the best tracks from the album.

Express.co.uk summed up the album as being "every bit as noisy and scary as anything they've produced over their 35 years". Dom Lawson of the UK magazine Classic Rock considers The Wörld Is Yours "one of the finest of the lot" of 20 albums the band produced, praising the production skills of Cameron Webb and the band in "supreme form (...) as they blaze through some of their strongest material in years".

On the other hand, Alexis Petridis of the Guardian said those who purchase the album will not do so "in the hope of being surprised or baffled".
