A manifesto for the synthesis of dance and hip-hop, French DJ David Guetta's new album One Love turns out top 40-friendly songs while remaining true to dance club culture.

For the most part, though, Guetta knows what he's doing here. Bring America to the club? Nah. He'll bring the club to America.
Read Full Review >Entertainment Weekly
Depending on your taste, you can thank or blame producer Guetta for the Black Eyed Peas' 'I Gotta Feeling.' If you're in the latter camp, skip his new album, One Love, which offers a redundant remix of that tune along with high-gloss grooves
Read Full Review >All Music Guide
Even if everything seems built for the 12" format and then landed on an album anyway, Guetta's fans get all the well-done house music they desire, and then some.
Read Full Review >musicOMH.com
He can doubtless get a party started every bit as effectively as either of those two [Paul van Dyk & Diplo] but, on this record at least, in dance terms he finds himself rather falling between two stools as he enlarges the walls of his big tent.
Read Full Review >The Guardian
It feels like a series of tracks rather than a fully realised long-player.
Read Full Review >Q Magazine
The 41-year-old Frenchman's fourth repeats the same formula 12 times: namely, get someone from the world of hip hop/R&B to sing over a pumping house groove. [Oct 2009, p.111]
Sputnikmusic
While sounding more like a compilation of singles than a fully cohesive album, One Love could in fact be the release that finally wins over both the dedicated weekend club-goers, as well as the stay-at-home older generation looking to revisit their youth.

One Love goes surprisingly deep, but an instrumental companion disc would’ve been a nice touch.

It's the sound of the summer! If summer for you means a fake tan and drinking WKD for a week in the Med with the likes of Kelly Rowland and Will.I.Am popping up as guests with your fave.

Some good and catchy beats, some songs are ok at best but a few a really great and you cant help but sing to some of the catchy lyrics. a must hear.
Maikel H gave it a10:
I never really manage to listen to any cd for weeks at a time,,, but this 1 really won me over and im listening to it as i speak.
GuettaGetsBetta gave it a10:
Best Album Ever. makes you want to dance. When you think you have heard the best song a better one plays next.
Alejandro H gave it a10:
David Guetta has gone mainstream with this Dance/House/Hip-Hop blend, and that is not a bad thing. Most of the songs are single material, with the potential of becoming hits.
Rachel R gave it a5:
Only a couple of good songs disappointing.
Scott gave it a5:
Sounds outdated with bland beats - bound to be popular though.
