Reception. "My Only Wish" received mixed reviews from music critics. It has been compared to "All I Want for Christmas is You" by Mariah Carey. Grace Cicciotti of iphone.funweek, commented, the two items in question, in fact, closely resemble, perhaps too much. "My only wish", written by "The-Dream" has the same melody of "All I Want  for Christmas is You ', the same high note and even the same meaning: not change much between all the phrase 'All I want for Christmas is you, baby "and" My only wish for Christmas is you'. In summary, it appears that much of Jessica suffers a lack of inspiration ... MTV said, we know that Mariah Carey has returned to the yuletide jam with her Merry Christmas II You. And now we get some Christmas spirit from Jessica Simpson, with the jaunty, playful "My Only Wish." Not unlike Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You", Simpson's track  covers up some heartache with a buoyant and peppy track, complete with Salvation Army Christmas bells and fireside pianos. GAWKER commented, "Is Jessica Simpson's New Christmas Song a Complete Mariah Carey Rip Off?". Jessica Simpson debuted the first single from her upcoming Christmas album, called, "My Only Wish (For Christmas Is You)." One problem: it's a total rip off of Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You."
