"Like all acoustic guitarists with extensive record collections, Gunn has endured plenty of comparisons to John Fahey, but the association feels almost too facile to perpetuate: While Gunn's produced some more explicitly cerebral work (for a time, he was into manipulating tapes of field recordings), Time Off's biggest asset is its ease. There's a real sense, listening to these tracks, that everything could be a little simpler if we all stopped trying so hard. It is deeply mellow in a way that the famously cantankerous Fahey would have likely found confounding".

"Although there is little of the improvised music tradition on Time Off or in Gunn's work generally, the closer is intensely open and points to a compelling merger of "freedom" and folk music. Nevertheless, what's particularly exciting about this disc is the possibility that lies in Gunn's interleaving of timeless songs and allover "time" - few of his influences and even fewer of his peers have searched in this direction".
