Time for Love is the fifth studio album by American singer Freddie Jackson. It was released by Capitol Records on August 3, 1992, in the United States. The album includes the singles "Me and Mrs. Jones", "Can We Try" and the album's opener "I Could Use a Little Love Right Now". Time for Love by Jackson served as his last album with the label.
Critical reception
AllMusic editor Alex Henderson called Time for Love "a satisfying effort that isn't much different from his previous Capitol releases. The New Yorker obviously knew what his strengths were – smooth soul/urban contemporary music and romantic ballads – and once again, the singer succeeds by zeroing in on them [..] Though it falls short of the excellence of Rock Me Tonight and Just Like the First Time, this CD was a welcome addition to his catalog."
