 In reviews of "Wolfmother", some critics praised "Mind's Eye" as one of the album's highlights.Writing for the website PopMatters, Adrian Begrand described the song as "a terrific epic ballad in the grand tradition of '70s arena rock", claiming that it "impeccably pulls off that quiet-loud-quite-loud formula perfected by the Scorpions, Judas Priest, and Rainbow 30 years ago".Similarly, James Jam of the "NME" described it as the "standout tune" on the album, while Blabbermouth.net's Keith Bergman suggested that it "merits" the band's comparisons to Led Zeppelin.
