Critical reception

In his weekly UK chart commentary, James Masterton wrote, "Shara Nelson follows up July's No.19 hit "Down That Road" with a song which is a vast improvement on its predecessor. "One Goodbye in Ten" shows off her voice to dramatic effect, a ballad in the classic Motown sense, strings and all. If there was any justice this would be a massive hit. Sadly I fear most record buyers will be too insular to appreciate the brilliance of this track."[1] Gavin Reeve from Smash Hits gave it four out of five, adding, "Once again Shara takes us down that road to a time when singers could actually sing and musical instruments didn't go bleep. A real jeans commercial of a record that holds your hand and whispers "come on, you know you want to". Mellow with a capital mmm..."[2] Jonathan Bernstein from Spin remarked that Bob Stanley and Pete Wiggs from Saint Etienne contribute on the single, describing it as "almost perky" with its "early-60s Doris Troy pop-soul stylings."[3]
