summarized that Eyes Set to Kill still have some growing to do, but this album is proof that they're up to the challenge. Alex Henderson of Allmusic states Eyes Set to Kill's take on the "Beauty and the Beast" concept works enjoyably well for them on The World Outside.

A negative review is given by Blabbermouth's Scott Alisoglu commenting there are worse albums than "The Outside World". I just hear very little in the way of pop melodies that grab or aggressive moments that get the adrenaline pumping. The infusion of keyboards and the attempt at dynamic vocal structuring doesn't save it either. There is an audience for this album; I'm just not part of it. Pass.

Chart performance

The album sold 2,400 copies in the United States in its first week of release, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The album peaked at #9 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart and #26 on the Independent Albums chart
