Mirror Image is the seventh album by the band Blood, Sweat & Tears, released by Columbia Records in July 1974. Founding member Jim Fielder left the band prior to the recording of Mirror Image, leaving drummer Bobby Colomby as the only remaining original member. Longtime horn player Lew Soloff also left the group. Jerry LaCroix, previously of Edgar Winter's band White Trash, joined on saxophone and occasional lead vocals. This album was produced by veteran Motown producer Henry Cosby, best known for his work on early Stevie Wonder songs.

Reception

Writing for Allmusic, critic Ross Boissoneau called the album "the most atypical Blood, Sweat & Tears album ever."
