Small bikes for kinds and city bikes with 3/7 gear hubs have oval chainrings too.
So does my retro, Shimano Exage Biopace, but back on topic.
Yes you can, as stated make sure you set chain tension at point of max tension (larger chainring diameter vertical) it onloy has a small effect but it can be significant!

Just to back up, I use a 34 Qring narrow wide on my SS. It works perfectly.
