Once in a While is a 1978 studio album by Dean Martin, produced by Jimmy Bowen. It was released four years after it was recorded.
The album consists of traditional pop standards, recorded in country pop arrangements. Many of the songs were associated with singer Bing Crosby.
It was reissued on CD by Capitol Records in 2006 and Hip-O Records in 2009.
William Ruhlmann on Allmusic.com gave the album two and a half stars out of five. Ruhlmann said that "Martin had no trouble negotiating such arrangements, though, and his familiarity with the songs themselves made his interpretations more comfortable than ever".
