It was produced by the Only Ones themselves, with the assistance of Robert Ash & was mixed at Basing St., Escape and CBS. Trouser Press called it "the best of the three original albums" in which "Perrett's languid vocals and songs provide the character & focus, while the band's skills carry it off handsomely". The album is still widely admired by British critics. In 1994, The Encyclopedia of Popular Music named ‘The Only Ones’ one of the 50 best punk albums of all-time. The compilers claimed that The Only Ones were "the closest thing the UK had to Johnny Thunders' Heartbreakers, a laconic, shamble of a band who were, at moments, touched by a creative greatness that made you get out of the glare". Since the end of the 1990s, the album has also appeared on several all-time greatest albums lists.The album was also included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die (2006). #theonlyones #1978 #selftitled #debutalbum #sideone
