The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow said "Dear Miles is a cheerful and upbeat session, most highly recommended to listeners who enjoy hearing a lot of bass solos".[2] In JazzTimes, Doug Ramsey stated "Dear Miles maintains Carter’s high standard ... This is music-making at the highest level".[5] On All About Jazz, J. Hunter wrote "Dear Miles is a fantastic set of bold interpretations; it is respectful to its subject while never losing its need to be unique. I'd say that sounds like Miles to a T".[3]
