Milestones is the eighteenth album by Roy Orbison, released on September 24, 1973, by MGM Records—his last album for that label. It was arranged by Joe Tanner, Rex North and Randy Goodrum. It features cover versions of contemporary pop hits.[1] Orbison's version of Maureen McGovern's song "The Morning After" was featured in the film The Poseidon Adventure.
The album was released on compact disc in 2004 combined with two other albums: Roy Orbison Sings and Memphis.[2] The album was also included in a box set titled The MGM Years 1965–1973 – Roy Orbison from 2015.[3]
Bruce Eder of AllMusic wrote that the album "included a lot of excellent covers, among them 'Sweet Caroline', 'I've Been Loving You Too Long (To Stop Now)', 'Drift Away', and the Bee Gees' 'Words'."[4]
Billboard wrote that Orbison's "sweetly individualistic voice works well with the Mike Curb policy of contemporary MOR packaging of long-time stars."[5]
