In Your Mind is the fourth solo studio album by the English singer and songwriter Bryan Ferry. It was his first solo album of all original songs.
As Ferry's first solo all-original LP effort, released after Ferry's band Roxy Music went on a four-year hiatus, it was supported by an extensive tour.
Critical reception
Template:Album ratings The Village VoiceTemplate:'s Robert Christgau wrote in his review of In Your Mind: "Ferry has custom-designed a new line of songs for his solo concept, rather than borrowing from early Roxy or his humble forebears, and especially on side one the stuff is appealingly down-to-earth."[1] In 1992's The Rolling Stone Album Guide, Mark Coleman said: "In Your Mind strives for the windswept, bracing impact of Roxy Music's classic Siren. The surfeit of Ferry's compositions is gratifying, though even the hookiest ('Tokyo Joe,' 'Party Doll') merely restate Roxy's familiar romantic and musical themes."[2]
AllMusic critic Ned Raggett wrote that In Your Mind "remains the secret highlight of Ferry's musical career, an energetic album that would have received far more attention as a full Roxy release."[3]
