Meeting of the Minds is the fourteenth studio album by American soul music vocal group Four Tops, released by Dunhill Records.
Reception Editors at AllMusic Guide scored this release three out of five stars, with reviewer Jason Elias criticizing that the "production failed to capitalize on the group's chemistry, offering songs that were formulaic and stale", but also noting that there are a few good tracks, particularly "Tell Me You Love Me (Love Sounds)".
