Stevie Wonder Presents: Syreeta

Stevie Wonder Presents: Syreeta is the second studio album by American singer and songwriter Syreeta Wright, released in June 19, 1974 on Motown.

Produced by Wonder, Stevie Wonder Presents: Syreeta featured guest appearances by fellow singers Deniece Williams and Minnie Riperton.

Donald A. Guarisco of Allmusic in 4.5/5 review called Stevie Wonder Presents Syreeta, "the most delightful and consistent album of her career. As with Syreeta, this album pursues a combination of smooth soul tracks ideally suited to Syreeta's silky vocal range and more experimental outings that are creatively in line with Wonder's then-current solo work. However, the eclecticism that weighed down Syreeta is transformed into a strength on Stevie Wonder Presents Syreeta: the tracks pursue a dazzling array of different pop-soul styles, but everything is kept in check by solid performances from everyone involved and tight arrangements that keep the album's hook-filled songs on track."

Peter Reilly of Stereo Review remarked "Syreeta is fun as she sidles through her material with all the nonchalance and insouciance of a girl who knows she's got something extra. The production and arrangements by Wonder are, as usual, marvelous...no one else can create that special, carefree, joyous feeling of musicians having a ball with their own work that pervades even a routine Wonder session. In this instance, Syreeta seems to be having more fun than anyone."
