Time to Think is an album by the American folk music group the Kingston Trio, released in 1963 (see 1963 in music). It reached number 18 on the Billboard Pop Albums chart, only the third of the Trio's fifteen albums released since 1958 not to reach the top ten. The lead-off single was "Ally Ally Oxen Free" b/w "Marcelle Vahine", released in November 1963. Two more singles were released from the album in 1964 — "Last Night I Had the Strangest Dream" b/w "The Patriot Game" and "Seasons of the Sun" b/w "If You Don't Look Around", the latter the final single the trio would release on the Capitol label.
Time to Think appeared at a time when the folk music genre in the United States was changing. More socially conscious material was being released from Bob Dylan, Peter, Paul and Mary and others. Although the album spent 21 weeks on the charts, The Kingston Trio attempted to keep up with the times, only to continue to see their sales and popularity decline.
Allmusic critic Bruce Eder called the album the trio's "attempt to compete in the new era of topical folk songs... The group's sound works even in this setting, though their approaches to some of the songs do seem odd together."
