Reception
In Der Spiegel, Max Dax gave a positive review of this album, writing that the new remix unleashes "the full musical power" of Dylan at this stage in his career. The editors of AllMusic scored this album three out of five stars, with reviewer Stephen Thomas Erlewine noting that Daniel Lanois' original production on Time Out of Mind had a "murkiness [that] nagged at Dylan" and that the recordings are a chronicle of Dylan attempting to find the right sound for these songs. Pitchfork rated it an 8.6, calling it the Best New Reissue of the week, with reviewer Jayson Greene praising the structure and relevance of the release, noting that this entry in the Bootleg Series both "subverts received knowledge" and "magnifies legends" about Dylan's often-mythologized career and songwriting. Rolling Stone's David Browne gave the album a positive review, writing that the Time Out of Mind sessions deserve the "under-the-microscope treatment".
