Reception
Giacomo Tramontagna from The Guide magazine awarded the film two stars, and said it was "the juxtaposition of five middle-aged guests with five young guys in swimsuits" and a "problematic tribute to the joys of youth". Tramontgana found the fictional middle-aged male characters demeaning to real-life middle-aged men, and considered this film suitable for either "narcissistic airhead brats who hate older men or youth-obsessed older men who hate themselves". He found the setup of the sex scenes "inconsistent and sometimes disorienting", but he picked scenes between Ashton Ryan and Jace Hughes as "the best of five erotic sequences", which he said were "sincere, spontaneous, lively, passionate".
A reviewer from the Ambush Mag website praised the actors' performances, the music score and sex scenes, and wrote, "you're just gonna love the entire movie". Bo Champion from ManNet.com praised the sex scenes as mandatory to the video and wrote, "while the plot is interesting, the execution is at times too cute and sometimes confusing and, in the end, a bit disconcerting to some of us who are graciously considered Baby Boomers". A reviewer from FriskyFans.org awarded the film four out of five stars and wrote, "A Young Man's World fulfills anyone's desire to see the finest of the finest young men".
