Feb 29, 2020This is the best posthumous release we've had in a very long while. It is a very sad and heart breaking project to listen to as he sounds so hopeful for his future on a lot of the tracks. Having said that he also covered a lot of issues he was struggling with on this release which makes this album even more of an emotional experience. This is a very heavy yet smooth listen overall. 9/10.

Mar 9, 2020Bro, this whole album just feels like a warm hug, a goodbye to everyone. he is just talking from his heart. wherever he is i hope he is smiling, rest in peace mac

Mar 25, 2020Beautifully done. We can relate to his feelings through soothing and calm music. Mac's death had a great impact on me, so it took long for me to listen to his late album. But it was even better than I expected. It's a work of art. Definitely his best, better even than the Divine Feminine which is my favorite album of all times.
-
Mar 27, 2020The whole album feels like being written from the other side. It's much more musical than the rest and it's profoundness lets us wondering how much better a next album would have been.
-
Apr 2, 2020The best ending we could have reasonably asked for. Mac builds off his unique sound on 'Swimming' and really gives his best vocals of his career. Packed with heartfelt songs and some spots to let you know that Mac could still rap. Beautiful album that I think will be looked at as Mac's masterpiece one day.
-
May 6, 2020A true masterpiece of art. Circles may very well be the only good post-death album to be released ever. Circles exceeds at being the best sister album to swimming, completing the dream that Mac had envisioned. Circles far outhsines anything made within its same release year.
-
May 28, 2020The only Mac album that can really go against swimming, this album deserves to be the best of the year! Mac Miller always innovating and improving every year, I miss you

Jul 18, 2020This is a very beautiful and serene listen every time. The composition of his vocal melodies and instrumentals is eargasmic. Lyrics are deep and meaningful. Not every track flows well, "Surf" is a little washed out and boring. "Circles" is one of his best works and a great send-off. My favorite track is "Everybody".
-
Jul 28, 2020It’s a little long, but other then that it’s amazing. “Good News” is one of the best songs ever made. I also like how chill this album is.
-
Aug 28, 2020Ja perdi as contas de quantas vezes corri para esse álbum. Mac era um artista incrível e faz muita falta.
-
Feb 3, 2021Just beautiful. The writing is mature, the instrumentals are great. Mac's singing isn't perfect, but is has a lot of charm. Highly recommended.

Dec 2, 2020Incredibly beautiful album. The production work is perfect. It is so sad that Mac's best work was his last.
-
Dec 18, 2020I have always been a Mac fan, but 'Swimming' really made me love and appreciate his music more. It so unfortunate that he passed away shortly after Swimming, because it is so far his best piece of art. So i was really nervous about this posthumous album, but John Brion and everybody involved really did an amazing job. This albums is so good and a perfect follow up after Swimming. Forever Mac.

Jan 7, 2021What a fantastic send off for Mac Miller. Everything about this album is beautiful. Production and vocals are absolutely amazing. Best tracks are "Circles", "Blue World", "Good News", "Woods", and "Hand Me Downs". Rest In Peace Mac Miller.
-
Mar 1, 2021This album is truly a masterpiece. Mac Miller has grown before our eyes. So many beautiful lyrics. This album has helped me through severe depression, we miss you easy mac with the cheesy raps. RIP
-
Apr 11, 2021An easy-going, soulful record that discusses Mac's troubles he battled with. Offering a fulfilling, but still heart-breaking goodbye to an artist that seemed to just start understanding where he really wanted to take his music.
9.0/10 -
Jun 14, 2021Great Album. I love how it didn't really rip off the style of Swimming, but had a different one instead :) Very unique experience

Feb 3, 2020Despite the sadness that clearly surrounds this project there is plenty of positivity: the production of the album is impeccable, and the overwhelming message that shines through is of hope for the future.
-
Jan 30, 2020Mac’s sixth studio album is a surreal experience that’s filled with opaque contemplation and tragic connotations. ... Loneliness may be our greatest fear other than death. Mac was able to explicitly re-establish this idea through reflective songwriting and gentle crooning. His genius and thoughtfulness will always be remembered. “Circles” is a stark reminder of that.
-
Jan 21, 2020He finds beauty and peace in allowing himself to experience his own emotions. It’s an honest, matter-of-fact account of the grey areas of his life and mind. On Circles, Mac shows the unexpected joy that can be found in the darkest of times.
