Critical reception

Jose F. Promis from AllMusic wrote that Mahogany Soul's "true gem is the smoldering, gorgeous, aching 'Wish I Didn't Miss You,' which pulls forward with an unstoppable beat and features a stellar, yearning performance from Miss Stone." [2] Similarly, Barry Walters from Rolling Stone declared it the album's "knockout track". [3] Spin magazine ranked the song among the 20 best singles of 2002 and wrote: "If Angie were skinny, Whitney would be unnecessary and Mary J. would be worried. Sad but true". [4]

Chart performance

Remixed by Hex Hector and Mac Quayle, "Wish I Didn't Miss You" became a successful club hit and gay anthem. [5]
