AllMusic 3/5 stars

Twilight Time is the second studio album by power metal band Stratovarius. The album was originally recorded and released in the band's native Finland as Stratovarius II in early 1992 through Bluelight Records, followed by a reissue in Europe with different cover art in October of that year through Shark Records. A third edition was reissued in Japan, renaming the album to Twilight Time with yet another alternative cover design, in July 1993 through Victor Entertainment; this being the most common version in circulation today. On the back cover, bassist Jari Behm appears in a band photo and is credited with playing bass, but all bass parts on the album were actually performed by guitarist and then-bandleader Timo Tolkki.

Steve Huey at AllMusic gave Twilight Time three stars out of five, noting that it significantly helped to establish Stratovarius' popularity in Japan, and that the band's "melodic, retro-British/power metal sound really started to jell."

All music composed by Timo Tolkki.
