"Scott McClatchy sjunger som en salig Kris Kristofferson och gör musik som låter som en blandning av amerikansk sydstatsrock, folkmusik och gammal hederlig rock'n'roll. Det är drag hela vägen till målet, och det är toner som gör att foten stampar, och hela livet nästan känns som en glad operett. Det är hur som helst fullt ös och medryckande låtar full av harmoni, och med refränger som fastnar på direkten. Dessutom en skiva, som inkluderar 13 låtar med texter om saker som verkligen berör."
- Torbjörn Berlin / Berlin Calling -
"Scott McClatchy spelar en finstämd country, eller americana om man så vill. Låtarna är oftast små mini-noveller som ger färg och form, och som också ger fundamentet till livets historier i lyriken. Musiken är fint formad och uthuggen ur marmor-stenen."
- Micheles Kindh / Blaskan -
"With his 6th release, critically acclaimed singer songwriter, Scott McClatchy, returns to his americana roots. Backed by top flight musicians, his new set of songs addresses many issues faced by the world at large, as well as those intimate moments whispered between friends."
- Kenneth Bremer / Blue Desert -
"Recorded with a 60's production aesthetic, the initial impression is Greenwich Village, New York folk ensemble at Washington Square Park. Philadelphia’s Scott McClatchy has a convincing lead vocal loaded, not with Creedence Clearwater Revival or The Band, but with the intense folky tonality of Barry McGuire (of 'Eve Of Destruction fame)."
- John Apice / Americana Highways -
"Scott McClatchy survived cancer and is now back and better than ever, because musically speaking we are heading into high class American heartland rock that is dangerously close to John Mellencamp or Bruce Springsteen during strong uptempo pieces. Scott has the perfect voice for this kind of music, so make sure not to miss this talented singer songwriter."
- Gabor Kleinbloesem / Strutterzine -
"Indeed, roots-rocker Scott McClatchy from Philadelphia may not be the most productive producer of new records, but we can only state that when he decides to release a new one, like his 6th album, 'One Time, One Night, In America', the quality of all tracks is splendid. 9 self penned new songs and 2 great covers, of the Los Lobos original album title track and of John Fogerty’s 'Gunslinger', ensure an hour of pure rootsrock and americana entertainment."
