Worlds Apart grossed $4.8 million at the Greek box office, making it the highest grossing 2015 film in Greece.[3]

On Rotten Tomatoes the film has an approval rating of 67% based on 9 reviews.[4] On Metacritic, it has a score of 61 based on 5 critics, indicating "generally favourable reviews".[5]

Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter wrote: "Worlds Apart doesn’t 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."[6] Owen Gleiberman of Variety wrote: "It isn't bad, but it’s kind of a trifle. Though it treats its themes with reasonable honesty, it can't help but come off as a bit diagrammed."[7]
