Critical reception One Love has received a good deal of favorable attention: * "One Love is, to put it quite simply: incredible." (4/4 stars) * "It's very rare to see a short that is so complete, One Love feels like a full length feature film. The story line is tight, no film is wasted, every second is instrumental to the tale." --Terra King, Indie Movie Examiner * "Beautifully shot and uniformly well-acted, One Love is a short film that manages what many full length features cannot." * "In just 15 minutes, this extremely well-made short weaves together four stories about parenthood..." * "One Love includes many heartbreaking story plots that will relate to everyone in a powerful way." (8.5/10 stars) * "A well-crafted movie that leaves you wanting more." * "A fifteen minute short with the heart and soul of a full length feature film." * "The master stroke of One Love is that in the short span of 15 minutes these people and their experiences begin to matter just enough..." * "...while I'd like to see an expanded feature-length version of the film to see where he might go with it, it's very good as it is."
