Kyle Copier of A Music Blog, Yea? gave 1 a positive review, stating "Where her colleagues, even older, more experienced ones, usually lack emotion, the change in tone from confident ex-girlfriend to shaken ex-lover in “She’s Not Me” from Part 1 to Part 2 is chilling." Copier praised her vocals for being beyond her age. Copier finished his review by writing: "For now, she’s an exciting, young, impressive artist with a ceiling that has yet to be seen and a killer debut- I’m sure that will do. You can bet I’m going to do a much better job keeping tabs on Zara Larsson from here on out." [10] Press Play OK gave 1 a more mixed review, writing: "Larsson’s songs unfortunately feel bereft of any substance based on life experience. Skipping A Beat takes a riff on that similar Olly Murs song, while Rooftop is simplistic." [11]
1 managed to chart in three countries - it reached number 33 in Denmark, number 28 in Norway, and topped the Swedish Albums Chart. [12] [13] [14]
