In a review for AllMusic, Steve Leggett wrote: "James elegantly delivers her versions of vocal jazz standards... It's all graceful and uptown, and James' singing is hauntingly beautiful."[2]
Allen Howie of Louisville Music News stated: "What's clear is that James has lived with these songs... James brings an earthy elegance to the dozen tunes appearing here. With impeccable arrangements by Walton and a delightfully diverse song selection, Time After Time leaves James' stamp on jazz while proving yet again that her muse is as eclectic as it is enduring."[4]
