In Canada, "It's a Miracle" was a number one hit, spending two weeks at the top spot.[3] It was his second and final number one song in that nation, and is ranked as the 25th biggest Canadian hit of 1975. [4]
The song describes the rigors of a long concert tour across America. The "miracle" is coming home and rediscovering love and intimacy after having gone for a protracted time without it. Once the singer returns home, he is determined to never leave again.
Cash Box said that it's "an up-tempo, rocking tune with a great dance rhythm."[5] Record World called it "an all-purpose disco-dynamic delight."[6]
"It's a Miracle" is traditionally the first song played at Barry Manilow concerts. The single version of the song features riffs from a saxophone at the instrumental outro.
