In his review for AllMusic, Steve Loewy notes "As with other issues on the CIMP label, there are no commercial concessions, and the two musicians achieve a duality in which they often achieve an almost spiritual union."[1]
The Penguin Guide to Jazz states "A lovely session, from the quietly ruminative discourse of 'Ryan' Groove' to the closing optimism of the title track."[2]
The All About Jazz review by Derek Taylor says "This is Soul music, pure and simple. No excess trappings or accoutrements. Just two men opening their minds and hearts in front of the mics and coming up with undiluted aural magic gleaned from a Griot tapestry of traditions."[3]
In his review for JazzTimes Ron Wynn states "One World Family is exquisite, soulful and highly personal music, performed with care and integrity."[4]
