AllMusic's John Bush, in a 4/5-star review, remarked "Just before he departed the Impressions for a solo career, Curtis Mayfield performed on one last album with the group. Check out Your Mind! saw Mayfield departing with class, driven by big, brassy nuggets of psychedelic soul...Despite the raised consciousness of the title, Check out Your Mind! also featured quite a few fine examples of traditional sweet soul... Still, there was much more great material than average, and the trio ended with style an eight-year reign as one of the most talented, intelligent, and successful of all soul groups."[3]
