AllMusic editor Andy Kellman remarked that on The One, Frankie J "continues to work closely with Happy Perez, but Cox's presence on not one but three tracks [...] adds significant heft to his catalog [...] The One is a step forward in every aspect. Lead single "Obsession (No Es Amor)" shot up to the Top Ten upon release, only solidifying J's mainstream presence."[3]
