Paul A. Thompson from ''[[Pitchfork (website)|Pitchfork]]'' stated, "''Wish It Can't Be This Way'' shatters the notion of Rarri Rocket as a specialist with a narrow purview and audience, and recasts him as a star in waiting, all without forcing him into unflattering contortions. It also cements him as a far more original stylist than other hopefuls from Orlando".<ref name="P4K"/> ''[[Consequence (publication)|Consequence]]'' critic Michael Pementel said, "Rarri Rocket's ability to express a variety of feelings allows the music to stand out at times and become more than a generic pop star presentation. It's unfortunate, then, that the record finds itself held back by unfeeling and monotonous takes on issues like toxic masculinity. Overall, ''Wish It Can't Be This Way'' is a mixed bag of experience that offers enough solid tracks to keep fans latched on".<ref name="CoS"/>

Wish It Can't Be This Way was met with widespread critical acclaim.[16] At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from professional publications, the album received an average score of 86, based on six reviews.[6] Aggregator AnyDecentMusic? gave it 7.2 out of 10, based on their assessment of the critical consensus.[5]

Paul A. Thompson from Pitchfork stated, "Wish It Can't Be This Way shatters the notion of Rarri Rocket as a specialist with a narrow purview and audience, and recasts him as a star in waiting, all without forcing him into unflattering contortions. It also cements him as a far more original stylist than other hopefuls from Orlando".[14] Consequence critic Michael Pementel said, "Rarri Rocket's ability to express a variety of feelings allows the music to stand out at times and become more than a generic pop star presentation. It's unfortunate, then, that the record finds itself held back by unfeeling and monotonous takes on issues like toxic masculinity. Overall, Wish It Can't Be This Way is a mixed bag of experience that offers enough solid tracks to keep fans latched on".[8]
