Andrew Leahy, of Allmusic, stated that "After flirting with pop and country on her early recordings, Emily Osment underwent a rock & roll makeover for her debut EP, All the Right Wrongs." They also went on to state that "Despite some fairly catchy songs, [Osment] never quite shakes [herself] free of the Disney machine: [she] embraces Auto-Tune, emphasizes overly polished production, and generally whittles away at the sharp teeth these tunes might've otherwise had. In their review of the album, absolutepunk.net began by saying "You Are the Only One" was "unfortunately the next" and the song is most nauseating, and the lyrics are atrocious at best. They even went on to say that Osment was suffering a major identity crisis (referring to her signing with Wind-up Records instead of Hollywood Records like most Disney artist.).

Paul Schultz, by The trades stated that "an 80s-era arrangement on "You Are the Only One" that explores the flips and flops of teenage love. It is the most impressive vocal delivery of the set, as Emily sings harmony with herself in spirited concord". The single did receive positive reviews as well, though. In their review of the single, sodahead.com said the song has a catchy beat and a good message. They went on to say that the song "is one of the slower songs on Emily’s album, but still a great listen! The guitars pick up during the chorus and definitely add something very special to the song".
