AllMusic	[2]

Although Small Miracles did not produce any high charting singles, such as 1990's "Til I Am Myself Again" which reached number 19 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart, critical reception was generally positive. AllMusic marveled that the album "sounds this consistently fresh and inspired coming 20 years after Blue Rodeo's debut.".[3] The first single, C'mon, peaked at number 68 on the Canadian Hot 100. Although the second single, 3 Hours Away, did not chart, the following single, This Town, did.

In their review, Billboard noted that Blue Rodeo had not deviated away from their trademark roots rock sound of "twangy guitars and rootsy melodies", which is their "strength and weakness", though noted that the band do "mix it up" with the jazzy "Together", the Byrds-esque "C'mon" and the early 1970s feel of "Summer Girls".[1]
