Rob Theakston from Allmusic found that "Diddy's production house has the magic touch and comes up with another winner of a record, One Love [...] The production is focused, mature, and fitting for a group with the members nearing their forties, even when the lyrics aren't [...] All in all, it's a cohesive statement and another victory for a group with such a publicly documented and tumultuous career. It's also another jewel in the crown for Bad Boy, but here's hoping Diddy gets the guys back in the studio immediately.
Rob Theakston from Allmusic found that "Diddy's production house has the magic touch and produces another successful record, One Love [...] The production is focused and mature, appropriate for a group with members in their forties, even when the lyrics aren't as strong. In summary, it's an cohesive statement and represents another triumph for a group with a documented and tumultuous career. It also signifies another achievement for Bad Boy, but let's hope Diddy gets the group back into the studio soon.
