Allmusic – "One Life 2 Live is a funky gangsta rap record in the vein of The Chronic, Doggystyle and All Eyez On Me. Namely, it's the kind of record where the nominal lead rapper, in this case C-Bo, acts more like a ringleader than a rapper, coordinating all of his fellow rappers through a number of party-jams and rarely taking the spotlight himself..."[2]
