Reception

AllMusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 4.5 stars stating “It’s tempting to call A Time for Love Sandoval’s masterpiece, but that is based on the sharp contrast with virtually everything else in his catalog; only time will reveal whether or not it is. For now, what is certain is that it is one of them.”
