Caroline Sullivan from The Guardian found that after "a dismissable first album," Time to Grow "will divest [Lemar] of the reality-TV albatross. The single "If There's Any Justice" [...] is a yearning piece of trad-soul that gives the rest of the album something to live up to. By and large, it does." AllMusic rated the album four stars out of five.
