I'm writing an essay and I'd like to use again a phrase: 'Of the utmost importance'. Can anyone give me a synonym so as not to repeat it?
 
Vital.

(Note that we don't usually give help with homework or assignments. I must be feeling very generous this evening.)

Well we shouldn't leave the OP with the idea that he/she can say "of the vital importance".
 
No, we shouldn't, though you could have explained! So:

"Of the utmost importance" can be replaced with "of vital importance" or simply "vital".

Of prime importance.....
 
Of the essence, of overriding significance.
