The album is representative of the band's transition from roots reggae to the more pop-oriented work of its later years.[3] The song "Talk to Me" charted in the UK at #54.
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 Bunny (Rugs) Clarke, the lead singer."[1]
Reggae & Caribbean Music highlighted the album's "tight disco riffs."[2]
