Time is the first solo album by American musician Richard Carpenter. Dionne Warwick, Dusty Springfield and Scott Grimes sang on the album, on the songs "In Love Alone", "Something in Your Eyes", and "That's What I Believe", respectively. The song "When Time Was All We Had" is dedicated to Richard's sister, Karen. It was later included on the 3-CD compilation The Ultimate Collection.

Carpenter co-wrote every song on the album except "Who Do You Love?"

In their review of the album, Billboard stated that "long in preparation, Carpenter's solo album shows same devotion to melodic craft and arrangement as his former duo's classic recordings. Vocals -which strike a Beach Boys/Four Freshmen mix on "Who Do You Love?" -may limit appeal slightly, but guest shots by Dusty Springfield and Dionne Warwick should garner swift top 40, AC play."^[1]
