Reviews in the first few years after the song's initial release were mixed.

[5] In her 2001 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 [This Year]') and 'N Sync ('You Don't Have to Be Alone [On Christmas]')".

[13] Sam Lansky included the song on his list of "Top 10 Original Christmas Pop Songs", writing, "another millennial teen pop jam, Britney Spears' 'My Only Wish (This Year)' follows the time-honored tradition of asking Santa Claus for love", and finding it "a sweet throwback to the simpler days of [Britney]". [8] MTV blogger Tamar Anitai praised it as "the absolute holy grail of 1990s pop Christmas songs". [14]
