Well-received upon release, many critics considered Time Takes Time Starr's best album since 1973's Ringo. Rolling Stone magazine wrote, "The drummer's most consistent, wide-awake album since Ringo, from 1973". The release was met with some indifference by the public however, and thus failed to chart. However, lead single "Weight of the World" managed to reach number 74 in the UK.
Time Takes Time has sold about 70,000 copies in America since its release although Private Music before they folded claimed sales figures a little over 200,000 in the US. Times Takes Time was the last Ringo Starr album on vinyl until Y Not, though only in Mexico, Brazil, Spain and Germany.
Despite an All-Starr tour in 1992 to promote the album, Time Takes Time would be Ringo Starr's only album with Private Music before he was dropped from their roster. It was also deleted a few years after its release.
