Rolling Stone
It’s certainly the best thing to come out of Motown since Marvin Gaye’s What’s Goin’ On and perhaps even more impressive as a personal achievement considering Wonder not only wrote, arranged and produced the entire album but ... played every instrument.

BBC
2012 - Wonder’s adult debut brims with passion, excitement and exuberance.
-
All Music
Everything he had learned about musicianship, engineering, and production during his long apprenticeship in the Snakepit at Motown Studios came together here
-
Albumism
2017 - Best of all, Stevie Wonder sounds as if he’s really having fun, which is all we could hope for, considering the joy he’d give us for generations.

Sputnik Music
Music of the Mind is pretty much the root of this uniform series of genius
-
Seattle PI
2011 - The songs were now longer and more complicated. The sound was layered, which resulted in complex material, all of which added up to a different approach to soul and rhythm and blues.

The Austin Chronicle
Music of My Mind had little political consciousness, yet it established Wonder as a mature songwriter
-
Don Ignacio's Music Reviews
The songs are enjoyable, and this album is utterly lovable.

OO Cities
mostly excellent musically but which lacks a solid emotional core
-
Robert Christgau
Wonder never sounds like a simp--the sentiments may be stale, but their textures are fresh.
-
Only Solitaire
A little bit unfocused, and perhaps a little bit too strong on the 'groove' side rather than the 'hook' side, but it's classic Stevie anyway.

John McFerrin Music Reviews
The album title is just so great.
-
Wilson & Alroy's Record Reviews
As far as I'm concerned, this record and his next four are all indispensable
-
Classic Rock Reviews
t is a very good album, though, and is now seen as being the first of the five successive albums on which his reputation primarily rests
