David Beran from the 'Gavin Report' described "Wild Wood" as "a laid back acoustic sojourn with a Neil Young feel". He added, "Weller's songwriting talents are hard to deny". Caroline Sullivan from 'The Guardian' wrote in her album review, "The searching, almost spiritual title tune wafted along by barely-there bass and acoustic guitar, is nothing less than delectable".Sullivan, Caroline (17 September 1993). "Music: Squeezing out familiar sparks Rock/Pop". 'The Guardian'. 'Uncut' rated it as Weller's ninth best ever song and the best of his solo career, with the Smiths' bassist Andy Rourke praising it as a "very easy, kicking-back sort of song".
