[5] Rating the album three and a half stars from Jesus Freak Hideout, Scott Fryberger says, "One Love Revolution is far from groundbreaking, but it's a solid album, and it's comforting to hear an old favorite getting back together to show that they still have it, and can still do rock music better than a lot of new rock bands." [6] Michael Weaver, indicating in a three and a half star review for Jesus Freak Hideout, mentioning, "One Love Revolution shouldn't necessarily be considered a triumphant return, but it is most definitely a solid one."
