PopMatters
A Beautiful Time proves Willie Nelson is the 89-year-old weed-smoking Zen master the world needs right now.

AllMusic
His dusty singing is countered by his robust guitar, his fleet, melodic solos lending a sense of earthy grace to the barroom shuffles and waltzes. Nelson's guitar and voice have intertwined and complemented each other throughout his career yet it's still a marvel to hear him find sustenance and surprises within his music, and that's what makes A Beautiful Time so rewarding: it's no small achievement that Willie Nelson is still deepening his artistry at the age of 89.

The Arts Desk
'A Beautiful Time' is not intended as a last word - the old outlaw is too optimistic for that - but if it were it wouldn’t be so bad.
-
Stereoboard
If he wasn’t still so creatively active, we might be tempted to declare this record a masterful adios to a life and career without equal.

Saving Country Music
We’re so used to the law of diminishing returns being the rule when it comes to our favorite artists in music. But Willie Nelson is the exception. With now a host of his late career records—and A Beautiful Time being perhaps the best example of all—Willie Nelson proves his unparalleled longevity as an artist, and why his music has earned immortality.
