Critical reception

Timothy White, in The New York Times, praised the album, writing: "'Talk to Me,' the rollicking centerpiece of The Story's Been Told, will probably find a favorable audience among the dance crowd; the sound is marvellously lean and smoothly paced, with strong vocal attacks by William Clarke, the lead singer."
Reggae & Caribbean Music highlighted the album's "tight disco riffs."
