Reception

Thom Jurek of AllMusic wrote " Made Up Mind is tight; it maintains the gritty, steamy, Southern heart displayed on Revelator, but the growth in songwriting, arrangement, and production is immeasurable. Everything these players have assimilated throughout their individual careers is filtered through a group consciousness. When it expresses itself musically, historical and cultural lineages are questioned and answered incessantly in the tension of their dialogue, creating a sound that is not only instantly recognizable, but offers a nearly limitless set of sonic possibilities." [3] Julian Ring of Rolling Stone called the album "equal parts Stax and Muscle Shoals without the dilution of either." [5] PopMatters called the album "a brilliant throwback without ever truly sounding anachronistic." [4]

The album debuted at No. 11 on Billboard chart in its first week, [7] and it also debuted at No. 9 on the album sales chart, as well as No. 2 on Billboard’s Rock chart and No. 1 on the Blues chart. [8] The album has sold 113,000 copies in the United States as of December 2015. [9]
