AllMusic rated the album 4.5 out of five and called it "another career highlight that pushes Tyler boldly into the future".[2] The Line of Best Fit assigned it a rating of nine out of ten, stating "With Time Indefinite, William Tyler offers a fresh and uniquely compelling way to affirm that it's OK not to be OK: these are humbly majestic anthems for our anxious age."[7] The Guardian noted about the album, "the few clear guitar refrains on Time Indefinite chime with nursery-rhyme simplicity,"[4] while the Financial Times described it as "embedded in computerised textures and results from a mid-life sense of crisis."[6]
