Critical reception

* Baby A. Gil of ''The Philippine Star'' was impressed with the original Filipino compositions, stating "It truly gladdens the heart that, Sarah, who is one of the country’s top hitmakers today has gone back, not only to Saturno songs but to other original Filipino compositions as well."
* Nickie Wang of ''Manila Standard Today'' noticed Geronimo's improvement, saying "Though Sarah is sending different messages from what the new album really speaks of, one fact is undeniable; she is mending a broken heart and it’s evident on how she rendered the songs in the album. Apparently, Sarah is now more believable when she belts sad love songs. She no longer has to internalize because she can perfectly relate with the lyrics."
* Remy Umerez of ''Journal Online'' stated "She explores more on the many faces of love in Vehnee Saturno's "Sino Nga Ba Siya", to ''biritable'' "Kung Siya ang Mahal" and the only danceable cut "Handang Umibig Muli."
* Rito P. Asilo of ''Philippine Daily Inquirer'' said "If you're tired of the cacophony of imitative covers and repetitive melodies on the local recording scene, you’ll find Sarah Geronimo’s latest album, ''One Heart,'' a breath of fresh air." He described the album as a "more mature sound for Geronimo."
