World Boogie Is Coming was met with generally favorable reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 79, based on nine reviews.[1]

AllMusic's Steve Leggett praised the album, saying: "NMA's version of Junior Kimbrough's "Meet Me in the City" here almost sounds like power pop, but filtered through a rustic moonshine filter. Every track here is like that, roaring into the 21st century sounding big, urgent, and huge, but so grounded in the local folk-blues tradition that each track seems to carry imprinted DNA that says boogie all over it".[2] Randall Roberts of Los Angeles Times found the album "chaotic and expansive in the best sense: The Allstars attack many blues and southern rock ideas--and let loose doing it. As a result, World Boogie feels like a journey".[5] Hal Horowitz of American Songwriter wrote: "By smartly abandoning the hip-hop and indie rock impulses that have appeared on, and arguably watered down, previous NMAS releases, the brothers Dickinson focus on what they do best; grind out muddy boogie with the pulsating, sweat soaked intensity of those that originated the rustic music they clearly love".[3] Fred Mills of Blurt wrote: "their latest, crammed with 17 tracks, will likely be a case of too much of a good thing for all but the hardcore fans".[4] Robin Denselow of The Guardian wrote: "the album succeeds because it has a freshness, raw energy and attack reminiscent of the way Mama Rosin re-work Cajun music".[6]
