Fryberger stating that "Time In Place is a collection of good rock songs that are individually great, but aren't necessarily the components of a great rock record", and that's why "as a whole is more equal to the sum of its parts."[3] Hoskins writing that "the problem that often occurs with an experimental sound is that sometimes the creativity just simply doesn't work out so well, and that can happen a few times on this listen."[4] Additionally, Weaver states that "As with almost any album, there is a little "filler" here but I would certainly recommend fans of the emo rock scene to check these guys out."[4] Weaver saying "Count this one as a big win" for the band and label for signing them.[5]
