The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings4/4 stars[3]

Allmusic awarded the album 4 star with the review by Thom Jurek, stating, "this is a brief but utterly captivating issue from one of the music's great composers and theorists that should not be missed by anyone interested in Towner, of course, but also in melodic improvisation and composition".[2] The Penguin Jazz Guide said, "Time Line is a supremely professional record, mostly done in miniatures which couldn't be improved by so much as a note."[4]
