Deep in My Soul is Smokey Robinson's fifth solo album. It was released in 1977.

Critical reception

The Los Angeles Times wrote that "Robinson's singing is excellent, but he needs his own first-rate tunes to restore the Miracles sheen." Reviewing in Christgau's Record Guide: Rock Albums of the Seventies (1981), Robert Christgau wrote: ""Smokey has a right to the romanticism that has saturated his solo career—ick with kick has always been his specialty—but I get more from the Big Time soundtrack than from Smokey's Family Robinson. And then there's this, in which various Motown hacks attempt to approximate the bright, direct style of a less mature Smokey and come up with four songs (two of which begin each four-cut side) that actually do so. Whereupon Smokey, pro that he is, sings them as if he wrote them himself.""
