Miles Smiles "Miles Smiles" "essential...one of the quintet's best albums" and cited "Footprints" and "Dolores" as "all-time great jazz compositions". "Musician" cited "Miles Smiles" as one of "the great quintet albums" and wrote that it "has lost none of its cutting edge ... Has any band ever grooved harder than Miles and company do on 'Orbits', 'Dolores' or 'Ginger Bread Boy'--and has Miles ever penned a more touching ballad than 'Circle'?" Allmusic editor Stephen Thomas Erlewine praised the quintet's compositions as "memorable, yet open-ended and nervy, setting (and creating) standards for modern bop that were emulated well into the new century".
