Critical reception

Paul Mathur from Melody Maker said, "She polishes off this song like she's kissing a peach and while it never exactly lingers more than a couple of seconds, there's enough silky soppiness to turn me to temperance."[2] Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, "Shirelles meet Richard Marx in this definitively radio-friendly number."[3] Stuart Maconie from NME commented, "'World Without You' is so seamless and clean it hurts. I love it. Like The World Trade Center, it is beyond criticism. It just exists."[4]
