Dana Scott of HipHopDX wrote, "With L'Orange playing the part of Doc Brown to Kool Keith's Marty McFly, Time? Astonishing! has its moments that are both comforting to the cerebral and, maybe, to a stoner who has nothing else better to do than commence to star travel on a lazy afternoon."[3] Mosi Reeves of Pitchfork stated that "One of its charms is hearing L'Orange adapt his sound to fit the mercurial Kool Keith's style."[4] He added, "perhaps Kool Keith and L'Orange are satisfied with conjuring a mood of amusingly hallucinatory hip-hop that lasts just over 30 minutes, and then evaporates like a pleasurable high."[4]
Under the Radar placed the album at number 10 on the "Top 15 Hip-Hop Albums of 2015" list.[7]
