Ironically, the fact that there are so many vocals really saves Mind Elevation from being the first bland record by Nightmares on Wax; as it is, there's something to focus on for those few tracks where the old production genius just doesn't seem to be there anymore.

BlenderLike Morcheeba at their worst. [#10, p.124]
-
MagnetThe album fares best when Evelyn lets his sampler do the talking. [#56, p.101]
-
MixerIf you liked previous Nightmares On Wax material, this one won't do it for you, as Evelyn's music has grown more vocal-based and less "stony."
-
Most of this album, basically, doesn't work.
-
Maybe while stoned it makes sense, but sober, Mind Elevation is more confusing than uplifting.
-
Q MagazineThis friskier, fresher take on Evelyn's previous fare is especially well judged bearing in mind that the last thing the world needs is another chill-out album. [Sep 2002, p.111]
-
UrbWhile meticulously arranged, Mind Elevation contains its share of anonymous, carbon-copy beats. [Sep 2002, p.104]
