The German 1993 re-release of the album adds the DNA dance remix of "Everybody's Got to Learn Sometime" as a bonus track.

[1] In 1989, original members James Warren and Andy Davis reunited the Korgis after they were approached by the Bristol-based International Hostage Release Foundation, who were gathering artists for the recording of a charity album to raise money for their cause.

Jo-Ann Greene of AllMusic described the Korgis as a "sophisticated pop group" who "reached new aural heights of lushness" with This World's for Everyone.

She noted that "strong melodies and catchy choruses reign supreme, with every song emphasizing the band's exquisite vocals and ferocious musical talent".
