Critic Reviews
Show All-
All Music
Time doesn't quite match the heights of Lionel Richie or Can't Slow Down, but it successfully updates his familiar concoction of sweet, seductive ballads and light funk for the late '90s.
-
The Guardian
2013 - The album certainly has its flaws – some plodding AOR arrangements, and so-so songs – but he hasn't sounded this engaged with his music in a very long time.
-
Rolling Stone
2013 - The songwriting is sometimes clunky or kind of silly (see “Sexual Religion”), but there’s a lighthearted warmth on nearly every song.
-
Ultimate Classic Rock
2013 - The dozen tracks are age-appropriate ruminations on love, sex, growing old and finding peace in the little things.
-
Clash
2013 - Overall, it’s a hearty welcome back to one of Britain’s best-selling singers.
-
Independent
2013 - On his first album of new original material in two decades, Rod Stewart looks to his past for inspiration.
-
All Music
2013 - As such, Time winds up a bit muddled, swinging from moments of genuine sweetness toward sharp saccharine, but even with all its flaws it's nice to hear Stewart engaged again, both as a writer and a singer.
-
Sputnik Music
2013 - It’s been a long, long time he sounded so into it.
-
Hustle Mom Repeat
2013 - The album was born from a burst of inspiration that came while Rod was reviewing his life for his recent memoir.
-
American Songwriter
2013 - It’s going to take a lot more than this decent return to original rock songs—his first such release in over a decade– to erase the saccharine taste Stewart has left in the mouths of 70s fans.
-
Pop Dose
2013 - The voice that Rod currently commands is not the instrument that brought him to fame and fortune, and not just because of the vagaries of age that affect us all
-
Michael Cavacini
2013 - Time is a solid effort by Stewart that every fan should check out.
-
Record Collector Magazine
To say it’s Stewart’s best album for more than 30 years may, ultimately, not be saying much, but it’s refreshing to hear him at the helm of a high-quality record, to hear him singing with heartfelt vigour, and – perhaps most importantly – having fun.
-
The Scotsman
Perhaps Stewart will fare better if he continues to write like no one is looking.
-
Express
2013 - Time is a welcome tribute to the impressive life and times of an icon.
-
Shauntee
2013 - I think Rod Stewarts latest project proves that no matter how long you’re out the game you can still come back swinging.
-
Montreal Gazette
2013 - The important thing, in the end, is that Stewart sounds like he wants to share some confidences over a drink
-
Sputnik Music
The biggest problem with Time is that the majority of its songs sound completely dated-more so than on any of Fleetwood Mac's 70s releases
-
Something Else Reviews
That said, the worst of Time had nothing to do with the new faces

Let's Have a Moment of Silence for Time, Fleetwood Mac's Most Disastrous Album

All Music
Nobody was fooled: Time didn't even make the charts.
