Allmusic.com gave Filles De Kilimanjaro a 4 1/2 star review:
Since it’s billed as “Directions in Music by Miles Davis,” it should come as little surprise that Filles de Kilimanjaro is the beginning of a new phase for Miles, the place that he begins to dive headfirst into jazz-rock fusion. It also happens to be the swan song for his second classic quintet, arguably the finest collective of musicians he ever worked with, and what makes this album so fascinating is that it’s possible to hear the breaking point — though his quintet all followed him into fusion (three of his supporting players were on In a Silent Way), it’s possible to hear them all break with the conventional notions of what constituted even adventurous jazz, turning into something new. … Filles de Kilimanjaro is necessary listening.
