The game features excellent voice acting, a high-quality English translation, and beautiful artwork that enhances the overall experience.
Wanting Wings offers a well-written and engaging story with multiple perspectives, allowing players to explore different character relationships.
The inclusion of both Wanting Wings and its sequel, Faraway Feathers, provides great value and a rich narrative experience for fans of the yuri genre.

The game is completely linear, requiring players to complete storylines one after the other without any real choices, which may limit replayability.
The all-ages version feels overly censored, with important content removed, leading to a less satisfying narrative experience unless the 18+ patch is applied.
Some players have expressed disappointment with the price relative to the amount of content provided, suggesting it may not be worth the full price.
