Variety Chief film critic Owen Kleiberman wrote, „Often, 'One Love' feels like a low-key, neurotic take on a typical biopic — the hero lost in his identity crisis, overwhelmed by fame — stretched to length. The film tells you a lot about Bob Marley, but what about his journey? It never finds out. Lynch's Rita is the film's most fundamental character; her devotion to Marley and her understanding of his pain move her along. But aside from a scene where Marley violently attacks her manager for trying to cash in on an African tour, the Marley we see is close to a hermit. Key to the new biopic mode The feature is a more complex exposition of totemic figures.'One Love' flirts with complexity but veers into the banality of hero worship.
