The record was released to largely positive critical and fan reaction. Las Vegas Review Journal gave the record a very positive review, quipping "The craftsmanship here is impeccable, hard to believe this band is still unsigned".[12] Vegas SEVEN also gave the record a very positive review and wrote that "...It's Time contains eight of the best rock songs I’ve heard this year, particularly the soaring, guitar-chiming 'Amsterdam', which gives Coldplay a run for their epic, anthemic pop songwriting money. Dan Reynolds and Brittany Tolman's harmonizing on the chorus makes the hair on my neck stand up, and I just can't understand what's left for this remarkable quintet to accomplish locally. They've won every battle of the bands, been featured in every newspaper and earned every distinction. Damn, they've even opened for Weezer and Interpol. If Universal doesn't sign these guys, then I give up."[13] Vegas SEVEN magazine also awarded the album "Best CD of 2011" in their Best Of issue.
