"One More Heartache"was a Top 30 Pop hit, peaking at number 29 on the Billboard Hot 100, and a Top 10 R&B hit, peaking at number four on the US Billboard R&B chart.

Billboard described the song as having "a driving, infectious beat and an exciting Gaye vocal."

Record World said it "never lets up on its driving way."
