Timeless received generally positive reviews from music critics. On Metacritic, which assigns a weighted mean score based on ratings from publications, the album scored 78 out of 100 based on 9 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[16]

Writing for Exclaim!, Wesley Mclean rated the album 8 out of 10, stating: "While it may be early to qualify his style or sound as timeless, it's managed to stand the test for the past 10 years and he's done nothing but hone his skills."[17] Skye Butchard from The Skinny (magazine) wrote: "At its best, that ‘timeless’ tag works. Nods to house, disco, and hip-hop retain the sweaty human touch of older party songs – think organic instruments, crackling samples and unquantized beats. It’s body music that doesn’t lose track of the present in search of something lasting."[18]
