Scandipop gave the album a mixed review stating, "He's calling it by far his best album to date. But given the fact that earlier this year he did the unforgivable and publicly slated his earlier work, it's now somewhat difficult to invest too much into what he puts his name to, without wondering if in ten years’ time he'll be referring to what you like of his right now, as pretty damn awful. Nonetheless, we'll take him for his word on this, and join him in his enthusiasm for this new record. It's funny that the track 'Time' ends up being the instrumental interlude on this album, though – as the album 'TIME' feels like an interlude itself, in his career. An album in which he stops, takes stock of the past, and readjusts to the changes in his life right now. As a result, what we end up being really excited about at the end of 'TIME', is exactly what might be coming next!"<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.scandipop.co.uk/album-mans-zelmerlow-time/|title=ALBUM: Måns Zelmerlöw - 'TIME'|website=Scandipop.co.uk|date=18 October 2019|accessdate=25 October 2019}}</ref> Florian Rahn from [[Wiwibloggs]] gave the album a positive review stating, "TIME is a record filled with different vibes and instruments, but it still very much sounds like the Måns Zelmerlöw we fell in love with during Eurovision 2015.

Time is the eighth studio album from Swedish singer Måns Zelmerlöw. It was released on 18 October 2019 through Warner Music Sweden. The album includes the singles "Walk with Me" and "Better Now". The album peaked at number eighteen on the Swedish Albums Chart.[1]
Background
In August 2019, Zelmerlöw announced that he would release his new album in October. He also announced a four date tour across Sweden in October in connection with the release of the album. He said in an interview, "I am so incredibly tagged in coming back to Sweden and getting to play at home again! It is always best to play at home in Sweden and in the fall you will see that something completely new."[2] Some recording sessions took place during songwriting camps in Battersea with others at Peter Gabriel’s Real World studios. When talking about the album, he said, "It begins with a letter from myself to my younger self as a young boy, then it moves to quite a dark place, before things turn around for the better again."[3]
Critical reception
Scandipop gave the album a mixed review stating, "He's calling it by far his best album to date. But given the fact that earlier this year he did the unforgivable and publicly slated his earlier work, it's now somewhat difficult to invest too much into what he puts his name to, without wondering if in ten years’ time he'll be referring to what you like of his right now, as pretty damn awful. Nonetheless, we'll take him for his word on this, and join him in his enthusiasm for this new record. It's funny that the track 'Time' ends up being the instrumental interlude on this album, though – as the album 'TIME' feels like an interlude itself, in his career. An album in which he stops, takes stock of the past, and readjusts to the changes in his life right now. As a result, what we end up being really excited about at the end of 'TIME', is exactly what might be coming next!"[4] Florian Rahn from Wiwibloggs gave the album a positive review stating, "TIME is a record filled with different vibes and instruments, but it still very much sounds like the Måns Zelmerlöw we fell in love with during Eurovision 2015. He knows his sound and how to deliver a well-produced body of work."[5]
