Critical reception

Ben Peterson of AllMusic gave the album 4 stars out of 5, saying, "while Dosh's effervescent soundscape often veers unpredictably from ambient and dreamy to manic and scattershot in a single stroke, it somehow remains unified, transfixing, and above all, highly listenable." Roque Strew of Pitchfork gave the album a 7.7 out of 10, saying: "Bristling with jazzy forms, infused with a global soul, Wolves and Wishes turns hip-hop's philosophy of bricolage into a glitchy, raucous, genre-spanning achievement." Sara Miller of Paste said, "Wolves and Wishes presents upbeat, unique compositions that allow the listener's mind ample time to wander freely." She called it "Dosh's most fully realized and cohesive work to date."
