Critical reception

Kyle Copier of A Music Blog, Yea? gave 1 a very positive review, stating "Where her colleagues, even older, more experienced ones, usually lack emotion, the change in tone from confident ex-girlfriend to shaken ex-lover in “She’s Not Me” from Part 1 to Part 2 is chilling." Copier praised her vocals for being beyond her age. Copier finished his review by writing: "For now, she’s an exciting, young, impressive artist with a ceiling that has yet to be seen and a killer debut- I’m sure that will do. You can bet I’m going to do a much better job keeping tabs on Zara Larsson from here on out. "[13] Press Play OK gave 1 a more mixed review, writing: "Larsson’s songs unfortunately feel bereft of any substance based on life experience. Skipping A Beat takes a riff on that similar Olly Murs song, while Rooftop is simplistic."[14]
