Reviews for the program were mixed. Critic Marjorie Bilbow in The Stage and Television Today wrote the following about the program's sketches, "Not every item was equally successful, but the standard was high enough to put this series into that rare class of comedy show that can be enjoyed on several levels." The review in the Television Mail was more critical, stating: "'World in Ferment' must be regarded as a failure to realize an idea — an idea which in no doubt made everyone fall about laughing when they first talked about it... It is essentially verbal fun, even literary fun, which does not translate well into visual terms." (en)
