Lukas Murphy from The Music Au said "Ever the innovator with his six steel strings, Tommy Emmanuel's exploration of the acoustic realm continues with his latest release. Boldly emblazoning every musical nuance and idea he can conjure, Emmanuel plays with a practiced expertise that is dispersed throughout the record. From Celtic ballads to straight-up blues, right through to more pop-oriented numbers, the self-confessed guitarist-with-the-mind-of-a-drummer shows just how much variety one instrument standing alone can truly have. With this release, Emmanuel once again sets an example for every aspiring guitarist to strive towards." [1]

Maggie Morris from Renowned for Sound said "An undeniable visionary with his instrument, Emmanuel not only explores different styles, but evokes a spectrum of distinctive emotions with visceral rawness." adding "When Emmanuel performs completely solo his outstanding, raw expertise is highlighted even more; the man is able to sing, strum, and drum not only with a single instrument, but in a single moment. It's Never Too Late is not only a solid and brilliant example for any aspiring instrumentalist; studied guitarists and everyday music fans alike will admire and enjoy it."[2]

Amazon editor said "An accomplished fingerstyle player, Emmanuel frequently threads three different parts simultaneously into his material, operating as a one-man band who handles the melody, the supporting chords and the bass all at once. That expert layering is evident in It s Never Too Late on the quixotic "Only Elliott", the calming title track and the gorgeous "Hellos and Goodbyes".[3]
