Lampard scored the winner as England finished the game with a 2-1 scoreline and having been arguably the better side on the night.
Wilshere was instrumental for the win as he controlled the midfield with aplomb and demonstrated a wide array of passing skills.
The Gunners man was praised by his manager and Lampard chose to add his voice to the chorus as he told ITV: "I think [Wilshere is] a fantastic player, I've been saying that since he first broke through.
"His quality on the ball, his technical ability, his speed at getting away from people - I think he's going to be a massive player for England and in the world."
The Chelsea midfielder scored the second goal in the 60th minute, shortly after Fred had levelled the scores for Brazil. He enjoyed both the goal and the win and hailed the night as one of the best that he has experienced in nearly 14 years of active international duty.
He continued: "[It ranks] very highly, it's obviously very fresh. The lads who played 90 minutes deserve a lot of credit because they can't half move the ball and they pop up in little holes behind you and there's a lot of work rate today but we got a win.
"We've proved we can beat anyone on our day, and the important thing now is consistency and the group matches, because that's where points come in and we have to get to Brazil.
"I think we've played some very good games but probably against lesser opposition, when you play against these teams you have to work hard and be organised and I think we did it very well.
"I know they missed some chances but I think there were times when we broke on them with our speed and we could even have scored more.
"If we can continue with that attitude and get a bit more flow to our game then I think we can do very well. We can't get carried away but it's a long time since we've beaten them so it's a lovely feeling."
The Three Lions will face the South American giants once more in the year when the duo face off in the first week of June for another international friendly.
