  1. 8.0 |   Mojo

    As pleasingly surprising as Bowie's re-emergence. Print edition only

  2. 7.0 |   Clash

    Overall, it’s a hearty welcome back to one of Britain’s best-selling singers

  3. 6.0 |   The Observer

    If you like Rod Stewart, you will love this album; if not, there are high points which may win you over

  4. 6.0 |   The Guardian

    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

  5. 6.0 |   Uncut

    For the most part feels like cheap '91 plonk hoping to pass itself off as vintage '71 vino. Print edition only

  6. 6.0 |   Q

    Rod is engaged, witty and even emotional. Print edition only

  7. 6.0 |   Rolling Stone

    The songwriting is sometimes clunky or kind of silly, but there's a lighthearted warmth on nearly every song

  8. 6.0 |   All Music

    Even with all its flaws it's nice to hear Stewart engaged again, both as a writer and a singer

  9. 6.0 |   The Arts Desk

    Not at all bad for an old fella
    Read Review

  10. 6.0 |   Evening Standard

    This wholly co-written album is an attempt to recover lost ground and remind posterity that he has intermittently cared about his art
    Read Review

  11. 5.0 |   PopMatters

    Overall, Time is badly balanced and overproduced, but it does offer signs of life while falling short of a genuinely exciting resurgence
    Read Review

  12. 4.0 |   The Independent

    On his first album of new original material in two decades, Rod Stewart looks to his past for inspiration
    Read Review

  13. 4.0 |   The Scotsman

    If he is not quite rejuvenated, he is at least jovial, offering up a succession of upbeat songs of thanksgiving, or the fondly nostalgic, as he looks back on key memories from his life
