Odd: Gerard 2016 and Whitley 2000, p. 116, both label the song as "bizarre"; strident: Hertsgaard 1996, p. 257, writes that the song "simply assaulted the ear; it sounded like someone had taken a hammer to a giant pocket watch until the springs inside collapsed in heavy, discordant agony," and Henderson 2004 similarly likens its sound to that of "a pocket-watch suffering a heart attack"; frivolous: MacDonald 2005, p. 309, calls "Wild Honey Pie" a "throwaway," Mulopo 2023 names it as an example of McCartney being "too goofy for his own good," and Unterberger 2003 ranks it at number 1 in his list of "Top Ten Filler Tracks."

Odd: Gerard 2016 and Whitley 2000, p. 116, both label the song as "bizarre"; strident: Hertsgaard 1996, p. 257, writes that the song "simply assaulted the ear; it sounded like someone had taken a hammer to a giant pocket watch until the springs inside collapsed in heavy, discordant agony," and Henderson 2004 similarly likens its sound to that of "a pocket-watch suffering a heart attack"; frivolous: MacDonald 2005, p. 309, calls "Wild Honey Pie" a "throwaway," Mulopo 2023 names it as an example of McCartney being "too goofy for his own good," and Unterberger 2003 ranks it at number 1 in his list of "Top Ten Filler Tracks."
