"Only Yesterday" was released on March 14, 1975. The Cashbox magazine called it a "ballad with its infectious beat" and that "Karen's dulcet, multi-tracked vocals soar over a dynamic arrangement which should be buzzing over the airwaves for a long time." The tune was the Carpenter's twelfth and last Top 10 single in the United States, reached no.4 there. In Canada it went at no.2, in United Kingdom at no.7, in Ireland no.5, in New Zealand no.10, and even no.12 in Japan.
