Reception
Writing for the Urban Music Scene website, A. Scott Galloway ended his review by commenting "[f]ile under highly recommended... and sublime."
Comparing the album to Franks' other recent works such as Rendezvous in Rio, Thom Jurek commented on AllMusic that "[w]hile his framework may be contemporary, his execution is timeless, making Time Together Franks' most consistent, graceful collection of songs in the 21st century."
John Beaudin praised "Now That the Summer's Here" on SmoothJazzNow.com, claiming it to be "one of his strongest tunes in twenty years", and that "it’s not everyday that someone’s art shows so much peace and a transparent look at such an interesting perspective of life."
The album has also received a five star average amateur rating from buyers on Amazon.com.
