Producer Quincy Jones called The Miracles  the "Beethoven's of The 20th Century" due to their songwriting talents.

In a tribute to Motown's first group, Martha Reeves of Martha and the Vandellas stated: "In Liverpool they have a statue of the Beatles. Someplace in Detroit there should be a statue of (Smokey Robinson and) the Miracles." ​
