Returning to the formula of his classic Hi albums,
Al Green assembled a fine collection of originals and covers for
Truth N' Time. Although
Green is in good voice, and his version of "Say a Little Prayer" is impressive, the album feels a bit like a holding pattern, simply repeating ideas that were more fruitful the first time around. Given the generally listless nature of
Truth N' Time, and the way
Green sounds vaguely uninterested in the material, it's not a surprise that it was his last secular record for a very long time. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
