Critical reception

"Miracle Mile" received a positive reception from music critics. Philip Cosores of Paste called it a "hook-heavy foot stomper." Heather Phares of AllMusic praised the song for being a merger of "both the slickness of Mine Is Yours and the theatrics of Loyalty to Loyalty." Kevin Perry of NME found the piano sounds exhilarating and liked that the band "stopped trying to do indie rock by numbers and gone back to the sort of idiosyncratic weirdness that made us fall for them in the first place."
