Now Then was recorded in Nashville and London and received very positive reviews. Allmusic.com said "Jeb Loy Nichols' fourth offering reveals the totality of the promise that his earlier records suggested and developed. All the beautiful threads he wove in Lovers Knot through Just What Time It Is and Easy Now have become a golden braid with Now Then."[2] The editorial review at Amazon.com says it is "a remarkable record, a masterpiece of distilled soul."[3] Ralph Alonso, owner of Bongo Beat Records which licensed the album for release in the US said "I am going to personally state on the record that this is one of the finest albums on my roster, something so fully formed and beautiful, it will continue to resonate and unravel its wonder long after you and I are long gone and forgotten. Like the best of Al Green or Marvin Gaye, this CD is perfect from beginning to end; a smooth and subtle sexual menage a trois of reggae, country and soul."[4]
