The title of the album comes from the film Scarface in Tony Montana's mansion. Along with the name, other elements of the album cover reflect other parts of the film.[8]

Scott Glaysher in a review for HipHopDX gave the album a 3.6/5 and said 'The World Is Yours won't have Rich leading the league but it does show his potential and willingness to grow as an artist the new generation of viral hit-driven rappers. If Rich can continue to craft hot singles and wean himself away from leaning on big-name talent, he may actually find rap's globe nestled in his pocket.'[17]
