[5] At The Line of Best Fit, Sam Franzini gave Time Ain't Accidental a 9 out of 10, stating that Williamson's songwriting is "consistently the most rewarding part of listening to the record, followed only by her delightfully country twang that comes out when pronouncing certain words".

[1] Shaad D’Souza of Pitchfork rated this release 8.0 out of 10, writing that it "doesn’t sound like many recent indie-country records... it’s an open, breezy record, often pared back to just saxophone, a nonchalant beat, and Williamson’s voice" that has "a surprisingly versatile palette".
