"I've Only One Time Askin' shows the Americana scene is still bearing strong fruit North of the Border, and with any luck, Daniel Romano won't end up as a perennial cult figure like Robbie Fulks - though it would hardly be a bad thing if he could spend a couple decades making great records, just as Robbie has done".
"Thematically If I've Only One Time Askin' is a triumph, a massive step forward that finds Romano pushing himself both in terms musical and lyrical, looking to get to the booze-soaked heart of country music. Having confirmed it to still be beating, he delivers a set worthy of inclusion alongside the best of the genre's biggest names. No mere album, If I've Only One Time Askin' is a career milestone for Daniel Romano, one that should see his music reaching a wider audience".
