Frank Scheck of 'The Hollywood Reporter' wrote: "Worlds Apart doesnt manage to transcend the forced and familiar-feeling aspects of its multipart narrative, but it does offer an evocative portrait of its troubled milieu, and one of its segments, at least, has genuine emotional resonance."
Owen Gleiberman of 'Variety' wrote: "It isn't bad, but its kind of a trifle. Though it treats its themes with reasonable honesty, it can't help but come off as a bit diagrammed."
