SG Lewis announced Times through his social media accounts on 27 October 2020.[2] With the announcement, he said:
This album is an ode to the present moment, and the finite chances we have to celebrate it. It's an exploration of escapism and euphoria, and the memories attached to those experiences.[3]
Five singles from Times were released prior to the release of the album; "Chemicals",[4] "Impact",[5] "Feed the Fire",[6] "Time"[7] and "One More".[8]
Times is a disco album[9][10] with dance-pop,[11] house,[12] chillwave, electropop and funk influences.[13]
At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised score out of 100 to critic ratings from publications, the album received an average score of 75 based on 6 reviews, indicating a "generally favourable" response.[15]
Alexis Petridis of The Guardian gave Times a rating of 4 out of 5 stars, and wrote that "Lewis is really skilled at producing disco-infused pop-house" and that his "talent lies in [adding] subtle touches."[12] Writing for NME, Ben Jolley gave the same rating, describing the album as "an incredibly cohesive collection of slide-across-the-kitchen-floor dance-pop bangers that encourage you to hold on to the good times."[17] Dani Blum of Pitchfork praised the album as a "pristine" one made of "frictionless bangers", but noted that the songs are "so controlled that they never come close to catharsis."[18]
