On several of them, including the engaging, poetry-driven \"To the Rhythm,\" he reflects on society's troubles. Elsewhere, he lets emotions swell. -- USA Today\n\n[The] album delivers the for-lovers-only-goods that his fans adore, and many of the molasses-tempo ballads are so lulling you'll think you're lying on a rippling water bed. Don't expect the lyrics to keep you awake [either]. -- People\n\nAmazon.ca\n\nTime glowingly demonstrates Lionel Richie's ability to write and sing socially relevant tracks. However, much of the luster from his mid-'80s heyday is woefully absent. Perhaps it's the album's darker thematic hue that robs the project of the once-familiar Richie magic. \"Zoomin'\" is a melancholy-laced track that addresses world problems, and \"Everytime\" bears a sobering timbre that explores relationships' more stark realities. Conversely, the title track rings with a warm pop melody of hope, while \"Closest Thing to Heaven\" boasts dreamy, feel-good lyrics. As usual, the artist's music deftly blurs the boundaries between pop, R\u0026amp;B, and country music, underscoring Richie's award-winning universal creative approach. Still, one comes away with a hungry feeling, as if Richie has yet to regain his stride following his lengthy self-imposed recording exile. --J.R.
