"SONGS ARE DRIVEN BY CARLETON'S FINE GUITAR WORK AND SINGING...IT'S EASY TO LAUGH AT SOME OF THE ROCK AND ROLL BANDS MAKING HITS THESE DAYS, BUT HEARING ROOTSY ROCK DONE THIS WELL SHOULD MAKE YOU FEEL A LITTLE BETTER."
 - Vintage Guitar Magazine - 

"DUANE CARLETON'S 'ONCE LOST, THEN TORN DOWN' STANDS OUT AS AN OASIS OF HIGHLY LISTENABLE MUSIC IN A DESERT OF CREATIVITY. THIS SINGER-SONGWRITER HAS SOMETHING TO SAY...CARLETON'S MUSIC SHOWS KEEN INSIGHTS INTO THE MALAISE OF AMERICAN RURAL LIFE...(HIS) LYRICS HERE ARE WELL THOUGHT OUT AND POTENT. CARLETON HAS A SHARP EYE FOR THE WAY PEOPLE IN RURAL AMERICA LIVE."
- The Times Argus - 

"WELL-CRAFTED, RADIO FRIENDLY TUNES. DISARMINGLY BEAUTIFUL LYRICS ARE PAR FOR THE COURSE ON THIS CD. WHAT REALLY MAKES THE ALBUM STAND OUT IS CARLETON'S HONEST AND SKILLFUL SONGWRITING. HE'S GOT A KEEN ABILITY TO CREATE SONGS THAT LINGER IN YOUR MEMORY LONG AFTER THE DISC HAS STOPPED SPINNING. AND THAT'S WHAT MAKES 'ONCE LOST, THEN TORN DOWN' MORE ENJOYABLE WITH EACH LISTEN."
- Seven Days - 

"CARLETON SINGS LIKE A YOUNG BOB SEGER...HE WRITES CATCHY POP SONGS...'CHASING AFTER THE STARS' IS A PROFESSIONAL SOUNDING RECORDING THAT COULD HAVE COME FROM NASHVILLE AS EASILY AS RUTLAND COUNTY"
- Seven Days - 

"TORRID GUITAR WORK...AND OVER THE TOP VOCALS...GOOD STUFF!"
- Metronome Magazine - 

"ORIGINAL SOUND AND LYRICS...EXPLOSIVE GUITAR...MATCHED WITH CATCHY LYRICS...IT'S NICE TO HEAR SOMETHING REAL AND WELL COMPOSED."
- The Vermont Review - 

"THAT ALL-AMERICAN ROCK SOUND THAT COULD BE COMPARED TO THE LIKES OF JOHN MELLENCAMP OR BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN."
- The Rutland Herald -

"DUANE'S SONGS ROCK AND SWAY WITH AN OLD COUNTRY AND MODERN COUNTRY SENSIBILITY AND SPAN DEEPLY PERSONAL ROOTS ROCK AND ALTERNATIVE MUSIC."
- The Folk Times -
