I would say that the song was rhetorically effective for many reasons. First, the song was very successful in all the worldwide charts and especially in the United States. Second, the song received a lot of good critical reviews such as “”Man in the Mirror” was described as Jackson going “a step further” and offering “a straightforward homily of personal commitment”, which can be seen in the lyrics” (Davitt Sigerson from The Rolling Stones Magazine).
