Q MagazineThe less devout should keep a pinch of salt on stand-by. [Oct 2007, p.100]
-
Ian Brown’s fifth solo album is about the big issues. And while he's picked all the right targets, lyrically and musically it’s still a bit disappointing.
-
Sadly, for all the passion and insight of his lyrical aspersions here, a lot of the messages are left a tad subdued by the conveyor belt plod orchestration.
-
More memorable for famous guests than fine tunes, The World Is Yours does not diminish Brown’s reputation, but it lacks the exotic, adventurous reach of his best work.
-
Although Brown is to be commended for braving topics that other songwriters would fear to tread, he has a habit of expressing his sentiments in the most laughably simplistic terms.

MojoThe World is Yours falls too short. [October 2007, p.102]
-
The World Is Yours is one of the year's worst albums.
