"What is astounding is that Arthur does not seem to be running out of ideas, nor does he rely on nostalgia. Mindset is an album that is creative and totally unique. It will please long standing fans and may even bring along some converts".

"As the album closes with When, a slowed down and emotional reference to disagreement, begins to question that arguments are often not about what the original gripe was. It's a calming and slightly disturbing end to another fine album by Blancmange, one which sees Arthur age like a fine wine and collaboration with the multi-talented Benge is once more confirmed as the next logical step in the transformation of the band. Released slightly later than originally planned due to the events of the last few months, Mindset is well worth the wait".
