Peter Yarrow joined him on stage as a guest performer.[5] The album received significant airplay.[6][7][8]
With the release of One Night Stand, Stookey changed his name from Noel Paul Stookey to Paul Stookey.[9][10] The album received positive reviews from music critics.[11][12] The album was reissued in 1977 under Stookey’s label Neworld Media.[9]
Paul Talbert for the Detroit Free Press wrote "on such songs as 'There is Love' and 'Blessed' the honey flow is tempered by his musicianship and even some poetry, too."[2]
Ron LaRoche of The Terre Haute Tribune exclaimed "This is an excellent concert album full of a lot of good music and cheer. It's comfortable and relaxing, almost nostalgic."[13]
