If Only for One Night is a live album by trumpeter/composer Wallace Roney which was recorded at the Iridium in New York City in 2009 and released on the HighNote label the following year.
[1] Allmusic's Michael G. Nastos said "Retro-fusion and funk à la latter period Miles Davis with hard-swinging jazz and some pop-type ballads comprise this meaty and beaty session full of energetic highs and introspective low-key music.
[2] Financial Times reviewer, Mike Hobart, stated "Roney is a forceful and atmospheric trumpeter, stretching out in sympathetic company, his rounded tone perfectly captured by this live club recording".
[4] PopMatters', Will Layman wrote: "Throughout this set, the band is inventive and powerful, even if they seem to be searching for a clear identity.
Roney seems most himself on the final track, a solo trumpet essay for his son, where he sheds the Miles sound somewhat and hints at his classical studies".
