Gabrielle Rice of Yahoo! called it one of Spears's best and most remembered songs, saying, however, that it only "made the Top 10 list because the lyrics fast shuffle rhythm . In her review of Now That's What I Call Christmas!, Melissa Ruggieri of the Richmond Times-Dispatch commented, "Thankfully, only a small portion of disc two is devoted to tween magnets including Britney Spears ('My Only Wish ') and 'N Sync ('You Don't Have to Be Alone ')". Lori Reese of Entertainment Weekly called it "festive". Michael Roberts of the Dallas Observer described the song as "an unobjectionable but generic retro bounce-fest".
