Alphonse Pierre of Pitchfork wrote that the tracks on One of Wun "sound like catchy Gunna songs of the past—he's still able to float on these laid-back, skittering ATL trap variants while reading straight off his SSENSE receipt—but they don't feel like them. He's going through the motions."[5] Demi Phillips of HotNewHipHop stated, "One of Wun is definitely evidence of Gunna's melodic prowess and his established place in the trap genre. However, while the album showcases his signature sound and lyrical themes, it also reveals areas where the artist could have stretched his creative boundaries further. The album's production is polished, with Gunna's flow as precise as ever, but it often treads familiar ground." Phillips described the production to be "not at all shoddy" and "very cohesive", before writing "However, for a 20-track album, this sometimes borders on monotonous. Unfortunately, there are moments that lead to a sense of redundancy, especially as the album progresses. The album also seems to need a more specific lyrical depth that could have provided a more explicit understanding of Gunna as an artist. Many tracks don't venture into new lyrical territory that might have offered a fresh perspective on Gunna's experiences."[6]
Commercial performance[edit]
One of Wun debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200 dated May 25, 2024, with 91,000 album-equivalent units. It is Gunna's sixth US top-10 album.[7]Caulfield, Keith (May 19, 2024).
