Rolling Stone
Like the radicalized Rousseau he is, Stevie Wonder presumes nature to exist in a state of pure innocence. Thus, the presexual condition of children is equated with green, tender sprouts — a neat, bold leap. […]
Red Bull Music Academy
Over the years, though, Life of Plants has attained cult classic status, inspiring artists like Questlove and Janelle Monáe. And according to a 2004 Billboard interview, it stands as one of Wonder’s favorite albums. […]
Wilson & Alroy’s Record Reviews
When this record’s good, it’s mind-blowingly good. Still, it’s loaded with ethereal experiments, many of them sound-effect laden instrumentals and dull intercultural experiments (“Voyage To India”). It’s all so gently arranged that it might put you to sleep. […]
