Allmusic editor Jaime Sunao Ikeda found that This Time "far outdistances" Savage's previous album an wrote: "Savage is presented here with excellent material on which she uses her impressive 'skills' to their best use paying homage to the likes Angela Bofill, Anita Baker, and Chaka Khan along the way by way of her approach and interpretation. This is one of those rare assemblage of songs that is so well sequenced and sung that it is a difficult task to single out outstanding tracks. The production harks back to the day when emotional delivery was placed ahead of perfect phrasing and pitch."^[1]
