The single reached No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in December 1978,[1] "Time Passages" also spent ten weeks at No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Easy Listening chart, the longest stay at number one on this chart in the 1970s.[2] Billboard magazine also ranked "Time Passages" as the No. 1 Adult Contemporary single of 1979.[3] The song is also of note for having the highest note ever hit on an alto saxophone by Phil Kenzie on a studio recording as a lead into the sax solo as Peter White's acoustic guitar solo was ending.{{citation needed|date=January 2017}} The familiar final line to the chorus is, "Buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight". Less lyrically complex than a typical Al Stewart composition - the singer's previous Top Ten hit "Year of the Cat" exemplifying his usual style - "Time Passages" was one of two songs on the Time Passages album written by Stewart with the intent of the tracks’ having hit single potential, the other being "Song on the Radio" which was the follow-up single and reached No. 29 Billboard and No. 27 Cash Box. Both the original and radio edit of the song was often played over the airwaves during the late 1970s. The difference is the song fades out before the second saxophone solo and ending guitar melody that would itself eventually fade out with primary instruments being removed.
