The Allmusic review by Matt Collar awarded the album 4 stars out of 5, stating "While Douglas has made his mark delving into various genre-crossing projects that often skirt the edges of hardcore improvisatory jazz, with Time Travel he has found just as much room to explore within a world of jazz possibilities". Writing for All About Jazz, Troy Collins said "the current incarnation of Douglas' Quintet reflects the independent spirit of a pioneering artist whose intrepid enthusiasm manifests itself in his choice of gifted young collaborators. Lending credence to its title, Time Travel displays the boundless creativity of a group that derives equal inspiration from both past and future". JazzTimes' Geoffrey Himes stated it "may well be the most mainstream jazz album Douglas has ever released".Himes, G., [http://jazztimes.com/articles/87160-time-travel-dave-dougas JazzTimes review], May 2013 The New York Times critic Nate Chenin ranked the album sixth on his top ten jazz releases of 2013.Chenin, N., [https://www.nytimes.com/2013/12/15/arts/music/craig-taborn-wayne-shorter-and-bill-callahan-achieve.html?_r=1&adxnnl=1&adxnnlx=1387210354-GJeCKrmcqyF/sb3kYV8k9A& A Mix of Sounds, Generations and Styles], NY Times, December 13, 2013
