AllMusic[1]

AllMusic editor Alex Henderson called the album a "pleasant, if unremarkable, CD." He found that "instead of trying to make herself relevant to the hip-hop-minded R&B scene of the early '00s, Howard sticks to her guns and emphasizes adult-oriented quiet storm music [...] Three Wishes won't go down in history as one of Howard's more essential releases, although her hardcore fans will probably want to hear it anyway."[1]
