No Depression wrote that Schlabowske's "heavy, blue-collar vocal presence is a delight, especially on the soon-to-be-abducted-by-aliens weeper 'Hello to Everybody' and the outlawish 'Red Brick Wall'." [11] Robert Christgau thought that Langford and Schlabowske "sing so lustily that the band's indifference to the niceties of country as it exists in history is of no consequence." [8] The Washington Post opined that "forays into blues and Western swing aren't enough to keep Waco World interesting when Langford's distinctive songs yield to Schlabowske's merely competent ones." [12]
CMJ New Music Report decided that "the entire album brims with rough-hewn vocals, twangy electricity, and a cool, literary bent." [13] Spin deemed it "flesh'n'blood country-western insurgence." [14] The North County Times called Wacoworld "crack insurgent country." [15]
AllMusic lamented that "the English cowboy gag is wearing thin." [6]
