AllMusic     [3]

Dan LeRoy of AllMusic rated One Man two and a half out of five stars. He wrote that "ever the sensitive guy, R&B loverman Tank thoughtfully divides his sophomore disc in two, front-loading it with tender, sexed-up balladry and saving the up-tempo stuff for the second half. On the surface, it's an especially welcome gesture because, in the reverse of how this formula usually works, Tank is much more likely to lose listeners when he aims for the dancefloor than the bedroom."[3] Billboard wrote about the album: "Preferring the simpler things in life, the singer is more than willing to give it all up for his woman – and they say chivalry is dead! One Man should be a perfect fit for both mainstream and adult R&B radio."[4]
