"It's a contentious issue, but there is little argument that with 'Round About Midnight, for all its implied conservatism and the awkward circumstances of its making, Miles created an album of almost perfect aesthetic balance, looking backward and forward, as he always did, with equal affection." - Penguin Guide to Jazz
