Signed, Sealed & Delivered
''Signed, Sealed & Delivered'' is a studio album by American recording artist Stevie Wonder, released on August 7, 1970, by Tamla Records. Along with the hit title track, the album also featured the hits "Heaven Help Us All", "Never Had a Dream Come True" and Wonder's cover of The Beatles' "We Can Work It Out". The album hit #25 on the Billboard Pop Albums chart as well as #7 on the R&B Albums chart.
This was Wonder's first album on which he was given producer credit, though he actually only produced two of the tracks and co-produced three more. He wrote or co-wrote seven of the tracks.
== Critical reception ==
In a contemporary review for ''The Village Voice'', music critic Robert Christgau gave ''Signed, Sealed and Delivered'' an "A–" and wrote that, although it has flawed moments and that Motown albums are rarely consistent, it is "still the most exciting LP by a male soul singer in a very long time, and it slips into no mold, Motown's included." ''Rolling Stone'' magazine's Vince Aletti said that the album "holds more creative singing than you're likely to find in another performer's entire body of work." Aletti felt that, although not all of the songs match the energy of the title track, the album does not have a bad song and includes an "extraordinary" cover of "We Can Work It Out" that shares the other songs' "tasteful, unencumbered" arrangements.
In his list for ''The Village Voice'', Christgau named ''Signed, Sealed and Delivered'' the eleventh best album of 1970, and later called it the best soul album of the year. In a less enthusiastic, retrospective review, Allmusic's Ron Wynn gave the album three out of five stars and found songs such as "I Can't Let My Heaven Walk Away" and "Never Had a Dream Come True" more engaging than the hit title track and "We Can Work It Out".
