The Ladies harness their anger toward Steven Page's departure with mixed results. Most of the time it fizzles out and gets thrown into a pile of listenable but ultimately forgettable pop hooks, but a few tracks soar brilliantly and you'll get a brief flash of the Barenaked Ladies that you used to guiltily love circa Stunt or Gordon ("Golden Boy", "Every Subway Car"). "You Run Away" is also the best ballad that Ed will ever write.
The addition of more vocals by Jim Creegan ("On the Lookout", "I Saw It") is a welcome change, counterbalanced by the unwelcome addition of more vocals by Kevin Hearn ("Another Heartbreak", "Jerome", "Watching the Northern Lights").

All in Good Time showcases a band’s response to departed member Steve Page, who had shared a great deal of the vocal work with Ed Robertson in the past. The Barenaked Ladies had always been at their best when humor was infused into their music, and this is sorely missed on All in Good Time. The record is littered with pedestrian ballads, while the attempts at humor are half-assed and not well executed. All in Good Time isn’t terrible, but it seems as though the Barenaked Ladies are missing more than just Steve Page.
