"Mind Reader"
Song

"Mind Reader" is a song recorded by American country music artist Dustin Lynch. It was released to radio on September 28, 2015 as the third single from his second studio album, Where It's At. The song was written by Rhett Akins and Ben Hayslip.

Critical reception

An uncredited Taste of Country review stated that "Since his platinum-selling debut single “Cowboys and Angels,” Lynch has released country-rocker after country-rocker and received a mixed bag of reviews and radio airplay (although he’s coming off back to back No. 1 hits). “Mind Reader” is a more nourishing single than any since his debut and he should be rewarded with another strong seller."[2] Nash Country Weekly writer Jim Casey gave the single a C+, praising the "R&B edginess" of Lynch's voice while criticizing the lyrics as "stale" and the production as "confused juggling synths and distorted guitar with steel".[3]
