Contents

Speaking to Len Righi of The Morning Call , Moyet said of the song's lyrics: "That's what relationships become after many, many years, when you recognise there's no more maneuvering with either of you and it's about dealing with the ennui." [3]

Reception

In a review of The Turn, Chris Long of the BBC commented: "The heartbreak of "One More Time" and the off-kilter splendour of "The Sharpest Corner (Hollow)" are worthy additions to her canon. [4] John Murphy of musicOMH considered the song "promising" and one which "soars through the octaves on the wings of a rather beautiful guitar riff". [5] Terry Staunton of Record Collector felt the song, along with "Anytime At All" "soar[s] with elaborate orchestrations", adding that "their ambition and energy almost explod[e] beyond the confines of a CD". [6]

Q described the song as a "big bluesy ballad". [2] Steve Jelbert of The Times felt Moyet's voice was "reminiscent" of David Bowie on "big, soft tunes such as "One More Time". [7] Cheryl Arrighie of 33rpm.com considered the song to be a "cracking lead single" and one which "kicks the album off strongly". [8] Billboard noted the "smart sophisticate" of the song. [9]

Pink Paper considered the song "dramatic" and "a plea to give things another go". [2] A. D. Amorosi of The Dispatch described "One More Time" as a "grandly emotive love song". [10] In a review of the 2015 deluxe edition, Paul Scott-Bates of Louder Than War noted: "The Turn boasted an incredible depth of material where she poured out quite superb performances. "One More Time" was one such piece rising and soaring like the phoenix that she had become." [11]
