The Only Ones is the debut studio album by English power pop band the Only Ones, released in April 1978 by Columbia Records.

Also Mick Gallagher known for his work with Ian Dury and the Blockheads provided keyboards on the album.

The album was re-released in Europe in 2009 on Sony Music Entertainment, featuring bonus content.

Trouser Press called it "the best of the three original albums" in which "Perrett's languid vocals and songs provide the character and focus, while the band's skills carry it off handsomely".

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".
