AllMusic	[1]

One More Story peaked at number 58 on the Billboard 200 chart.^[5] Singles include the hit, "One Good Woman," which made it to number four on the Billboard Hot 100,^[6] and "Best of Times" peaking at number 59.

"Save Me" was used as the opening theme during the first season of the NBC television show, Baywatch.^[7][8] Incidentally, drummer Tris Imboden appears on this album.^[4] He would later join Chicago, replacing original drummer Danny Seraphine.^[9] "Heaven Help This Lonely Man" was used on the American daytime serial Santa Barbara.^[10] The song "You Never Listen to Me" plays during the first scene of the Miami Vice Season 5 episode, "Redemption In Blood: Part 2," but is not credited on screen.^[11]

In a 2024 article for American Songwriter, writer Matt Friedlander includes "You Never Listen to Me" among his list of five "notable" guest performances by David Gilmour. Friedlander calls the Gilmour/Cetera collaboration a "somewhat surprising pairing" and goes on to say, ' “You Never Listen to Me” is a darkly ominous rock ballad about love gone wrong that showcases Gilmour’s searing, Floyd-worthy guitar riffs.'^[12]
