"Time to Make You Mine" was released as the third single in Europe on 2 March 1992 and in Japan on 3 June 1992. It included "All Around the World" recorded as a duet with Barry White. All artist royalties from this single were donated to the charity Trading Places. "Time to Make You Mine" was remixed by Masters at Work (Little Louie Vega and Kenny "Dope" Gonzalez), Martin Glover and The Orb. The John Lindauer-directed music video was also released. The song reached number fourteen in the United Kingdom.

On 21 June 1992, Arista Records released in Japan a special CD maxi single "Real Woman Hip Selection" which included remixes and B-sides form the Real Love era. Arista used the same single cover art as for the "Time to Make You Mine" single. In 2003, "Time to Make You Mine" was included on Biography: The Greatest Hits. In 2014, the remixes of "Time to Make You Mine" were included on the deluxe 2CD + DVD re-release of Real Love and on People Hold On ... The Remix Anthology (also on The Collection 1989–2003), including the previously unreleased Bomb Squad Remix by The Bomb Squad and Sunship Mix by Ceri Evans formerly of the Brand New Heavies. Both remixes were created for the US release of "Time to Make You Mine". However, this single release plan was abandoned, as Stansfield recorded her new song for The Bodyguard, "Someday (I'm Coming Back)".

Critical reception

The song received positive reviews from many music critics. An editor from Billboard wrote that Stansfield "has a field day with meatier songs" like "Time To Make You Mine".[1] Cashbox said it is a "sexy, make-love" song.[2] Gavin Report commented, "An intimate performance of a song about an obsession for possession. A cool track."[3] Liverpool Echo stated that the singer "gets slow and soulful with a passionate vocal that sounds as if she's learned a few lessons in romancing from her hero Barry White."[4] Scott Sterling from The Michigan Daily described the song as "dreamy". He added that it "showcases Stansfield's gorgeous voice at its best. Mixed right up front, it sounds like she's whispering her proclamations of love inches from your ear."[5] Music & Media wrote that "it tastes like candy again, most of all the softly-spoken intermezzo. Dictionaries all around the world should replace the word "sensual" with "Stansfield"."[6] Alan Jones from Music Week said that the singer "demonstrates her most intimate vocal yet with a breathy and pent up slice of superior soul guaranteed to maintain her hot streak."[7] James Hamilton from Record Mirror called it "another quality Stansfield/Devaney/Morris creation" and a "breathily seductive groin grinding smoocher".[8] Tom Doyle from Smash Hits gave the song 3 out of 5, noting that Stansfield "tangles her tonsils around a breathy, seductive Prince-type tune, in which she promises to "caress your hips"."[9] Sun-Sentinel described it as "a song many women have lived".[10]
