Comes A Time is a relaxed country tinged album from prolific singer songwriter Neil Young, comprising mostly easy on the ear but rather forgettable songs. (US:7 UK:42)

“It is a pleasant listen, with a few stand-out tracks. The entire work has a breezy, mellow quality which suits me perfectly on a lazy Sunday. Some of the tracks are a little forgettable, but the music is generally excellent. This is one of those albums that could be put on in the background, or listened to closely with equal pleasure.”

“I believe this is the happiest recording Neil has ever done. If you are like me and prefer folky Neil then you won't be disappointed.”

“It's always been one of my favourite releases from Neil. It's pretty relaxed with some very nice melodies and memorable songs. It has a very folky and almost country sound.”

“This is a very relaxing and laid back album, perfect for those hazy, lazy sunny afternoons, or perhaps a backing track for Sunday mornings when reading the papers. Has a mostly country flavour to it, which adds to the kicking back mood.”

“As you might guess from the cover photo, this is basically Neil being laid back and having fun. The material is mostly acoustic with a country-folk flavour. The songs are pleasant, and each has its moments, but none of them end up particularly memorable or moving. It feels like a collection of miniatures, congenial but not challenging in any meaningful way.”

“The album doesn't feature the droning, crashing guitars that typify the Crazy Horse sound, but instead has softer sounds and lush melodies.”

“Merely good Neil Young material is often miles better than music by many other artists, but this does have a few moments when things get a little sleepy. The best overall aspect of this album is the harmonies between Young and Nicolette Larson. This is not his best album, but it certainly has plenty of musical reasons that warrant playing it again and again.”
