One Call Away (Chingy song) Last updated January 07, 2026 Critical reception Matt Cibula of PopMatters was positive towards "One Call Away",admiring Chingy for taking on a rap ballad saying "It’s kind of adorable that he’s talking to her on the phone about politics and life when he can’t be with her,and his voice gets all softened when he talks about her,and his homeboys call him weak when he gives her a kiss on the cheek,but he doesn’t care,because he knows that she’s always just one call away from him,and vice versa."
