Critical reception

Upon its release, pan-European magazine Music & Media picked "One More Good Night with the Boys" as their "single of the week" and wrote, "Archer once again proves to be one of the UK's unique vocalists. She walks the narrow, winding path of mixing torch song drama, folky sensitivity and a firm rock base, provided by the Attractions." The reviewer added that the B-side, "Guilty", is "less meandering, a picture perfect ballad full of sweeping emotions". Music Week noted that Archer returns "sounding uncannily like Chrissie Hynde, with a hooky, rocky up-tempo ballad" and added, "'Sleeping Satellite' it is not." The Peterborough Herald & Post awarded the single a three out of five rating and stated that it "marks a distinct change" from Archer's previous releases, with a "rawer approach rather than comfortable pop". The reviewer concluded, "And it works." In a retrospective review of Bloom, Stewart Mason of AllMusic remarked that the single was "clearly aimed at the same demographic that had made Sheryl Crow's 'All I Wanna Do' a hit".
