“Un tiempo fue Italica famosa is an album of the highest quality. Palmer performs with flawless technique, deep levels of personal expression, and an artistic integrity that seems far too rare these days. He delivers a first rate performance on each track, and performs with such a deep knowledge of the music it leaves no doubt that he is on his way to becoming one of the best classical guitarists on the planet.”

“A sense of celebration, a sustained rock-solid technique, and flashes of brilliance keep this program cycling in the ear. Artistic brooding is paired with an often playful sense of "controlled" freedom. Through it all there is a performance quality that denies the player ever practiced; so precise is every gesture, so deliberate and secure is each complex figure, and so steady and unwavering is the speed, that there is a general impression Palmer was simply beamed fully formed to Earth on a blue shaft of light and started playing a guitar this way.”
