Philip Sherburne of Pitchfork stated that Worldwide Angel "largely sticks to the template established on previous Bad Gyal songs: synth-heavy, sticky-sweet dembow grooves tinged with airy melancholy", and "is clearly meant to signal [her] arrival as a global force." Sherburne found her melodies "often about as emphatic as a shrug", and noted that her lyrics "seem hesitant to stray far from themes she's already explored." Vibe included Worldwide Angel among the 18 Best Latinx Albums of 2018, with Clarissa Shine describing its melodies as "an excellent combination of those uptempo reggae beats with the sultriness of Spanish lyrics". Shine described its title as "self-explanatory... for how [Bad Gyal] intends to become an international star, especially with the distinct sound created on this project."
