  1. 8.0 |   Spin

    Bronson's major-label debut performs another miracle: It's the rare rap album that actually rewards its mixtape following
    Read Review

  2. 8.0 |   State

    It is a very cohesive project despite the several producing contributors. Many tracks begin at the end of the previous one, also aiding in creating a full and consistent sound throughout the album

  3. 7.5 |   Consequence Of Sound

    Mr. Wonderful could have used more focus on the man at the center of attention
    Read Review

  4. 7.5 |   Pretty Much Amazing

    Mr. Wonderful is ultimately a bit of a lark, but it is also far more enjoyable, far more self-aware, and far wittier than it needed to be

  5. 7.0 |   Beardfood

    There's just enough to love
    Read Review

  6. 7.0 |   PopMatters

    May not come off as the sweeping epic its coda hints at, but it’s an entertaining and unique experience that only Bronson could give us

  7. 7.0 |   Exclaim

    Still informed by the fantastic imagery and comedic charm that Bam Bam is acclaimed for, but it also shifts his emphasis slightly; here, Bronson is framed as a more serious artist focused on experimentation

  8. 7.0 |   Rolling Stone

    Queens rap star makes a luxuriously weird major-label LP

  9. 7.0 |   The 405

    There isn't a moment when you feel as if the rapper has deteriorated from a sound that could be associated with him, which in turn provides a safe debut
    Read Review

  10. 7.0 |   The Music

    It lacks consistency, which separates Mr. Wonderful from hip hop classics, but it’s still incredibly listenable
    Read Review

  11. 6.9 |   Paste Magazine

    This is a give-and-take album. We forgive Bronson’s nasal hook on “Baby Blue,” while we wait for Chance the Rapper to flex on the Ronson beat
    Read Review

  12. 6.3 |   Pitchfork

    A few tracks—"Terry", "Actin Crazy", "Galactic Love"—featuring Bronson spitting fantastical bullshit over laidback beats. This is where he is at his most natural, approachable, and likeable

  13. 6.0 |   The Irish Times

    He also doesn’t stack the album too high with guest rappers so we get Bronson at the pass, serving up tracks which sizzle to a crisp with his trademark signatures
    Read Review

  14. 6.0 |   FasterLouder

    His capabilities as an MC are still very much there but they are merely touched-upon as opposed to fully-realised

Latest Reviews

Taylor Swift  The Tortured Poets Department

Though haunted by the phantoms of what could’ve been, Taylor’s most cathartic release to have created is her most cathartic to listen to; a spell-binding, toxic, chaotic illustration of what floating adrift and losing yourself looks like Clash

Nia Archives  Silence Is Loud

Exuding femme energy – she’s frequently DJ’d to women-only spaces – she taps into an often neglected aspect of jungle history, while writing a few chapters of her own. An early Mercury tip? Don’t bet against it Clash

Pearl Jam  Dark Matter

Trimming back the excess of their recent experimental streak, it finds the band digging back into their core values – ruthlessly entertaining, often moving, it’s an undoubted thriller for fans Clash
