Critic Reviews
Show All-
Variety
The last album from the Pittsburgh-born rapper is quietly elegant and experimental.

Rolling Stone
He was growing as an artist, exploring sorrow while remaining unwaveringly optimistic

Vulture
Mac Miller Leaves Us His Most Compelling Artistic Statement on Circles. Circles gives voice to the nagging notes of inadequacy that linger in the margins of our greatest triumphs, movies of uncertainty that play against the backs of our eyelids when we turn out the lights at the end of the night.

DJ Booth
‘Circles,’ is the moment he comes into himself as a man, as Malcolm. Circles is everything Mac Miller was meant for in his cut-short life, and then some.

Pitchfork
The first posthumous album from Mac Miller plays like a companion piece to Swimming. It’s an optimistic epilogue to the life of an aspirational artist.

All Music
Circles would be an insightful, focused addition to his strong late-era catalog, shining a necessary light on emotional and mental health struggles and sobriety through his deeply reflective lyrics and the wonderfully enjoyable and warm production work by Brion. Instead, it's yet another reminder of lost potential and a life cut tragically short.

Complex
the album we have feels like it would have been the natural end of a chapter, and a fitting summation of the first decade in a wildly inventive career.

NME
Overall, ’Circles’ is a very conflicting listen. It’s a high-quality project, but we lost Mac way too soon, and that’s hard to accept. So while it’s hard to listen to him talking about self-deterioration and how he spends far too much time in his own head, it’s a privilege to hear him share his inner most thoughts over a bed of sweeping, inventive sonics. This is the album Mac Miller was born to make.

“Circles” is both spare but somehow full.
