  1. 8.0 |   Spin

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

  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

  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

  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

  10. 7.0 |   The Music

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

  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

  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

  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
