AllMusic Review by Rob Theakston

Nearly seven years removed from Home Again, New Edition's career has once
again been resuscitated. The thanks this time around go solely to music
juggernaut P. Diddy rescuing the group from what could have been a future
filled with casino and dinner theater shows. Signing the group makes perfect
business sense, as Diddy is obviously aligning NE with the other soul artists
(Mario Winans, Loon) in his Bad Boy stable, and having a group with over two
decades of loyal fans can only bring in more and more sales to his empire. And
like those aforementioned artists, Diddy's production house has the magic
touch and comes up with another winner of a record, One Love. After a self-
congratulatory "Conference Call" for an intro, "Been So Long" lifts the record
off properly and could possibly be the type of song Marvin Gaye would be
writing and performing if he were around today. With the notable absence of
Bobby Brown, the band favors more laid-back cuts than on Home Again,
favoring the sultry vocals courtesy of Ralph Tresvant and Johnny Gill to
anchor many of the tracks. The production is focused, mature, and fitting for
a group with the members nearing their forties, even when the lyrics aren't:
"All on You" comes across as a desperate attempt to target the younger
audience and hang on to the wild days of youth, while "Best Man" is textbook
Timberlake. "Rewrite the Memories" is also quite an appropriately titled song --
as the opening piano line and chords appear to be based almost entirely on
NE's classic "Can You Stand the Rain" and Force M.D.'s' "Tender Love," but
that's actually quite fine as it's one of the best moments on the record and
one of their finest ballads ever. All in all, it's a cohesive statement and
another victory for a group with such a publicly documented and tumultuous
career. It's also another jewel in the crown for Bad Boy, but here's hoping
Diddy gets the guys back in the studio immediately. Seven years between
New Edition records is far too long and is inexcusable.
