| Pitchfork | 6.7/10[32] |
Time Machine received critical acclaim with Pitchfork raving, "the singer-songwriter arrives on her own terms with a debut that flits effortlessly between guitar-based soul, alt-pop, and R&B. That deft balance between Fousheé's whispery, enticing flow and her aching falsetto is time machine's greatest asset.[32] While UPROXX stated that the project is "a great way to experience Foushee's artistry and all she has to offer through it".[33]
