Classic Rock writer David Quantick defined the album as one of the best of Knopfler's career, finding "gorgeous songs" which "sounds like it's lived a life that's full".{{Cite web |last=Quantick |first=David |date=April 12, 2024 |title=Out now: Mark Knopfler repeats his formula to great effect on One Deep River |url=https://www.loudersound.com/reviews/mark-knopfler-one-deep-river |access-date=April 19, 2024 |website=Classic Rock}}

In a mixed review Robin Murray of Clash wrote that the album "display his guitar chops, and his honesty" with references to "blockbuster Dire Straits albums", pointing out that it is "rooted in classic American songwriting, it feels humble, and often moving". The writer found that "While the playing is never less than exceptional" the productions "can sometimes falter, [...] a little dated, and rob the material of energy".{{Cite web |last=Murray |first=Robin |date=April 12, 2024 |title=Mark Knopfler - One Deep River {{!}} Reviews |url=https://www.clashmusic.com/reviews/mark-knopfler-one-deep-river/ |access-date=April 19, 2024 |website=Clash}}

AllMusic critic Timothy Monger gave the album a positive review, stating that Mark Knopfler's "output as a singer/songwriter has remained remarkably consistent and uniquely his own". He went on to say that "Like its predecessor, 2018's Down the Road Wherever, One Deep River doesn't necessarily break new ground for Knopfler, but it does add a clutch of well-written, impeccably played songs to his canon ... These are the kind of smart slice-of-life lyrics Knopfler has built his career on and can still deliver with a craftsman's ease".{{Cite web |last=Monger |first=Timothy |title=AllMusic Review - Mark Knopfler - One Deep River |url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/one-deep-river-mw0004201592 |access-date=November 11, 2024 |website=AllMusic}}
