Mind If We Make Love to You is an album by the American power pop group Wondermints.[5][6] It was released in 2002 on Smile Records.[7] The album title, with its intentional lack of punctuation, is a take-off of Mind If I Make Love to You, an album of 1950s cocktail instrumentals in Darian Sahanaja's record collection.

Multiple configurations of the album have been released, in different parts of the world. Some pressings contain outtakes from the album sessions as well as Wondermints' cover of The Beatles' "Getting Better", which was originally submitted for use in a Philips commercial; the submission was rejected in favor of Gomez's version.

Critical reception

PopMatters wrote that the songs "are more celebration than innovation, simple pleasures arranged in complex manner that delight the ear."[8] The Sun Sentinel wrote that the band sounds "like a cross between Cheap Trick and the Beatles due to their love of power-pop harmonies and trippy lyrics."[9]
