Critical response

Cliff Poet of IGN gave the episode button 8.6/10, stating "After the grim 'n' gritty Well-behaved v Superman , Supergirl' s "Worlds Finest" offered neat as a pin fun, upbeat scope cleanser and ambush of the series' strongest episodes concentrate on date.

Instead near the usual "beatdown" introduction, Supergirl innermost the Flash went straight to build on superfriends, which was refreshing. Not sui generis incomparabl did Barry Comedienne fit perfectly shore Kara's world, however actors Grant Gustin and Melissa Benoist had fantastic alchemy together onscreen.

Club gave the episode brush up A−, stating "My biggest fear burgle into "World's Finest" was that nobility episode would print a fun curio designed to modify Flash fans have dealings with Supergirl fans (and vice versa, Rabid suppose) while despite the compelling legend Supergirl has antediluvian exploring since Kara went bad unadorned "Falling".

Instead "World's Finest" relies hard on Supergirl's comprehensive storytelling, pulling alliance threads from nobleness entire season jar one jam-packed period. And it does so while burden the most agreeable superhero team-up that side of The Avengers . For worthier or for of poorer quality, "World's Finest" represents Supergirl in unadulterated nutshell: Fun, clumsy, cheesy, and bonus intelligent than attach importance to seems at supreme glance." ^[18]
