- The album was the first to be released under Wonder's new, independent contract with Motown, which gave him greater creative control.
- Music of My Mind reached number 7 on Billboard's Soul Albums chart and number 12 on the Billboard 200.
- The album's title track and "Superwoman (Where Were You When I Needed You)" were released as singles.
