Critical reception
Rick Mitchell of the 'Houston Chronicle' wrote, "With its sweet sentiment, cute rhyme and catchy melody, it sounds like a can't-miss smash."Rick, Mitchell 'Houston Chronicle' Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo/Rumor has it rodeo loves Clay Walker/Boy from Beaumont hits whole 'nother level (26 February 1997) 'The Dallas Morning News' gave the song a negative review writing, "One, Two, I Love You, is a silly, badly written, midtempo cut that proves nursery rhymes are strictly for kids. With a chorus that reads "One, two, I miss you/Three, four, I walk the floor/Five, six, come back quick/I don't want to miss you no more," it sounds like palatable country aimed at the lowest common denominator."'The Dallas Morning News' Volt, Jayhawks show there's no alternative (20 April 1997).
