Billboard described Miles High as ‘a classy blending of straight ahead rock, seamless pop, r&b, easy going jazz and reggae’.

Melody Maker was even more positive: ‘Gritty, straight ahead Rock and Roll in the Chuck Berry tradition’, concluding their review with; ‘Overall, a triumphant return to the scene by a thoroughbred musician we can ill afford to lose.

[1] Following the reissue, in Truck & Driver's monthly music reviews (February) a 4 of 5 star concluded with: ‘Sadly, Miles High can be a bit hit & miss.

Tracks like "Turn Yourself Loose" & "Don’t Stop Now" plus ballads like "Foolin'" & "Peaceful Waters" are every bit as majestic, powerful and bombastic as anything on Rebel, but the so-called rockers are just too all over the place for my ears (jazz on steroids...).
