Background
The single, "Love Is An Animal" was written by Carr when he was only fifteen. He also wrote the single, "East Coast" and the title track "The Way the World Looks". Carr stated that, "This new album is definitely more upbeat and a positive outlook for me, and has flavors from all my past and present influences. I think there's a broader sensibility to my work now. The big difference now is that I'm more comfortable with my musicianship."
Promotion
In December 2008, Carr, along with Jessica Mauboy, performed at Westfield stores. Carr performed the single "You" at the Sydney New Year's Eve concert in 2008. On 16 March 2009, Carr performed "Feels Like Woah" on So You Think You Can Dance. On 20 and 21 March, Carr performed in stores at Westfield Miranda, Sydney and Queen Street Mall, Brisbane.

Singles
Reception
The album met with positive reviews from critics. Christine Sams from The Sydney Morning Herald wrote that the album "Is an upbeat pop start to this album with Any Other Way and Carr's single, Feels Like Woah (with its touch of Bryan Adams) but it then veers into more gentle, playful territory with Hurricanes (delightful, with a distinct Jack Johnson feel). Further on, Light Years seems to come out of left field – dark and introspective. The mix keeps things interesting, with Carr emerging as a strong voice." She went on to give the album 8/10. Oz Music Scene stated that "Even the missteps are enjoyable to listen to. It’s just that when Wes gets it right, he sets the bar so high. This is a really solid debut, the kind that takes up permanent residence in your stereo and leaves you anticipating what comes next."
Chart performance
Following the success of "You", the album entered the ARIA Albums Chart at #2. In its second week on the charts, it dropped to #4 and was certified Gold for sales in excess of 35,000 copies. The album peaked at #1 on the Australian Albums Chart (chart only for Australian origin), and at #2 on the Australian Physical Albums Chart.
