Rolling Stone
The cut is Miles’s tribute to another one of his soul inspirations and is a gas. As he has always done, this artist keeps plunging ahead, sure of where he’s going and not bothering to look over his shoulder to see who’s inevitably going to follow. […]

Stylus
And that’s what Miles did soon after the release of this record and a few Japan-only live documents: he put down his horn for the rest of the decade, letting cobwebs envelop his house. I will not guess at his reasons for doing so; I’m sure he had his own. And like his smoky, brooding cover photograph on this album, all hexagonal glasses and pursed lips, to say nothing of the music within, it’s a mystery. I would expect nothing else. […]
