"This sort of folky, jazzy and soul-influenced style was also taken up occasionally by such people as Richie Havens, Taj Mahal, early Joan Armatrading and Gil Scott-Heron. On Time Peace, Terry Callier gives us one of the finest examples of the genre, with tasteful musicianship, an often atmospheric sound and Callier's outstanding vocals. Lyrically, the album seems a period piece, with his songs about peace, love and being positive to overcome adversity, racial or otherwise -- the old-fashioned values of idealism that have hardly been heard since the last Gil Scott-Heron album."
"The track featuring saxophonist Pharoah Sanders closes the album, and it has another title that sounds if it came from the optimistic 1960s actually a three-part title, TimePeace/No One Has to Tell You/Build a World of Love. Naturally, with Sanders the track has a distinctly jazz sound. The saxophonist seems to inspire Callier to a higher vocal energy level."
"Some might be tempted to call Terry Callier's new CD Time Peace a throwback to the 1960s with its jazzy, soulful sound, and especially its lyrics that dare to talk about peace and love and hope. But this particular style never made much of an impact on the commercial music scene of the day, and after such a long period of inactivity, Callier and his music now seem fresh and vital today. The musicianship is outstanding, Callier's vocals are absolutely first-rate and wonderfully memorable. What he sings about may be considered a relic of the past in the cynical or just-plain-dumb 1990s, but one comes away from the record feeling positive, without the music reaching the point of being sappy. Callier is a literate lyricist and first-rate composer, and his music now comes across as having a timeless aura."
