Todo a Su Tiempo received praise from music critics. Evan Gutierrez of Allmusic gave the album a 4.5 out of 5 stars, praising the album as a step forward over Otra nota. He described Anthony's voice as "soaring" and "luminescent". He cited the album as setting the bar for salsa music and closed the review by it calling the album "without question one of the finest salsa records of the '90s". David Wilson of Wilson and Alroy's Record Review felt the album was an improvement from his last album, and commended the George's arrangements as "varied and interesting". He referred "Por Amar Se da Todo" as a song that "doesn't let up" and "Nadie Como Ella" as "obvious, but catchy". Of the song "Y Sigues Siendo Tu", Wilson said that Anthony is " one of the few current male singers who can really make you believe in a sappy ballad". Achy Obejas of the Chicago Tribune gave the album a four-star rating and enjoyed how Anthony put a variety of sounds, including hip-hop and R&B, to "good use". She referred to "Hasta Ayer" as an "an oldie but goodie totally transformed by soulful crooning". Billboard's mentioned Anthony as "grafting his muy soulful baritone onto vivid romantic narratives" and acknowledged "Nadie Como Ella" and "Se Me Sigue Olvidando" as "upbeat". A writer for the Village Voice penned that the tracks were "nine swirling, complex dance tunes".
At the 38th Grammy Awards, the album received a nomination for "Best Tropical Latin Performance", which was awarded to Gloria Estefan's Abriendo Puertas. Anthony received two Billboard Latin Music Awards, including "Tropical/Salsa Album of the Year" and "Tropical/Salsa Hot Latin Track of the Year" for the song "Te conozco bien". In 1997, the album received a Lo Nuestro award for "Tropical Album of the Year".

“To take pride in a library kills it. Then, its motive power shifts over to the critical if admiring visitor, and apologies are necessary and acceptable and the fat is in the fire.”

“He’s leaving Germany by special request of the Nazi government. First he sends a dispatch about Danzig and how 10,000 German tourists are pouring into the city every day with butterfly nets in their hands and submachine guns in their knapsacks. They warn him right then. What does he do next? Goes to a reception at von Ribbentropf’s and keeps yelling for gefilte fish!”
—Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
