The Season for Miracles is a 1970 studio album by American soul group The Miracles. The Christmas album has received positive reviews and has been a strong seller for Motown, being reissued on compact disc in 1992.[1]
A brief review in Billboard recommended this release as being a "joyous" and "delightful holiday package".[2] The editors of AllMusic Guide scored this album three out of five stars, but do not have a detailed review.[3] The publication does review the 1973 various artists compilation A Motown Christmas, which includes tracks from this album and critic Jason Ankeny calls that an "outstanding sampler" of music that includes a "beautifully soulful vibe".[4] In 2011's The Encyclopedia of Popular Music, this album received three out of five stars.[5]
Although this release did not sell well enough to chart,[6] a 1987 review of the best-selling Christmas albums by Ebony notes that this is one of the best-selling from Motown.[7]
