Critical reception
The album generally received positive reviews. AllMusic critic Ned Raggett thought that Mind Made Up "found the group in creative health while approaching 30 years of work and beyond". Raggett also wrote that the record "feels more like them keeping on rather than trying to stake out a space in a crowded musical landscape." Martin Longley of BBC stated: "These songs reinforce a formula, but it's ACR's very own formula, and one that still remains highly distinctive." Writing for Exclaim!, Michael Edwards described the release as "another solid and funky album from A Certain Ratio" and considered it as " both a natural progression of the band's sound and a return to their roots."
