"Still Time is an absolute delight, a truly superb, eleven-track release that is nothing short of sublime".

"Still Time is a collection of contemporary and traditional sounding songs with a palette of sonic textures wrapped around Matheson's distinctive voice ... Matheson says, "Somehow having time to reflect and consider music in a different way helped me finally finish the record and I am super proud of it!'' And, well she should be. This is as pure a traditional recording as it gets".

"With a voice that is rich, soothing, and utterly captivating (the late Sean Connery considered she had a voice 'touched by God'), Karen Matheson is rightly considered one of the finest voices in Scottish song ... If you love elegant, mature melodies and heartfelt poetry beautifully sung, then it doesn't get much better than this".

"Classy comeback from Capercaillie chanteuse: Karen Matheson returns after five years to prove she still deserves her place among Scottish Folk Royalty - along (...) with her husband Donald Shaw. They perform together in the influential and experimental band Capercaillie and have both played a key role in the ever popular Transatlantic Sessions. Matheson has now released five solo albums. Last time round, with Urram, she brought African and Indian settings to Gaelic songs, but now she concentrates on reworking favourites from an impressively varied selection of singer-songwriters, from Robert Burns to James Grant, once with the Glaswegian band Love and Money. Grant plays guitar and dobro and contributes four songs, including the lush 'Cassiopiea Coming Through', which sounds more pop than folk, and a fine anti-war song, 'The Glory Demon'".
