Critical reception
Three Mile Ditch was met with generally favourable reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 79 based on four reviews.

Cameron Sinclair-Harris of Gigwise praised the album, giving it nearly perfect 9 out of 10 score. Susan Hansen of The Line of Best Fit called the album "raw and absorbing", adding "it deserves our full attention". Classic Rock reviewer labelled the work as "a spellbynding brew". Ana Leorne of Beats Per Minute stated: "Three Mile Ditch is living proof that lightning does indeed strike the same place twice — and sometimes with a vengeance. Rumours of their death have been highly exaggerated, as The Wytches have never felt so alive". In her mixed review for DIY, Lisa Wright wrote: "the signs for the band's third aren't too rosy, and yet their latest does go some way to showing the defter touch they first struck out with".
