  1. Sonicnet
    90
    A landmark album that is Carpenter's best effort since 1994's Stones in the Road -- and, quite possibly, her best ever.
  2. Q Magazine
    80
    This album - musically more extravagant, lyrically just as searching - takes its place at the shoulder of 1994's Stones In The Road as her best yet.
  3. Billboard
    80
    While her introspection and understated approach bog things down at times, songs like "The Dreaming Road" and "King of Love" are finely crafted and often hauntingly beautiful.
  5. Spin Cycle
    75
    Carpenter delivers a batch of reassuring songs -- about confidence in yourself and the world -- making you wish she'd check in a bit more often.
  6. Rolling Stone
    70
    She's always straddled musical genres, and Time*Sex*Love boasts a clear pop streak, with the influence of the Beach Boys evident on the harmonies of "Maybe World" and the string arrangements on "What Was It Like" and "King of Love."
  7. Entertainment Weekly
    67
    Stick with her slow, depressing stuff, and bring your Zoloft. [6/1/2001, p.90]
