"The remix of One by One is what I consider an essential gay anthem. What I draw from the lyrics is a message of unity and acceptance. I know that she's singing about one man, but hearing her sing "We're gonna love one another", I think of how we need to support one another and quit being so divisive and marginalized.I think that fans of the album Believe owe it to themselves to also buy this single."

"I finally caved and made the purchase for this utterly fantastic set of mixes.....the various remixers have outdone themselves by breathing new life into what is already a fabulous song....Having just returned from La Cher's 'Living Proof-The Farewell Tour' at the Garden in New York, i'm literally ODing on this babes tunes.....I can't get enough and the variety of the mixes help to diversify my homemade mix cd's......The only thing separating me from Cher's Hott and very hard to believe mid-50's self was the rail in front of the stage.....I'm still reeling......This song's lyrics and danceable tune, though not sung at the show, will have me dancing in my living room for years to come.....If you love Cher.....and you boiz know who you are......you'll love this cd...I'm always skeptical about remixes but this one is Hott.....and keeps to the original feel.....adding some pump and grind.....You won't be disappointed.....She's turned back time......."

"This is definately one of my top favorite Cher songs. Cher has always been known to sing songs about acceptance, love, unity and understanding. This song is no exception. The mixes are quite good. The version of ONE BY ONE with Melle Mel is very nice, a sultry R&B song it's turned into. The Junior Vasquez Club Vocal Mix is my favorite on the maxi, turns it into a great dance song. In fact, the original version of this song was not a hit but the song was a hit on the dance charts with it's remixes, which was almost a precursor to the direction she would take with her 1998 album BELIEVE which brought her back. The X Beat Mix is great too, and there's also an X Beat Dub and the Junior Vasquez Club Dub. As well, the b-side "I Wouldn't Treat A Dog (The Way You Treated Me)" is on here, which was not on the US version of the album ITS A MANS WORLD. Overall a great single full of great mixes for an awesome Cher song!"
