Skipper Kevin Davies scored a brace of penalties, Johan Elmander notched twice and Chung yong-Lee was also on the scoresheet as the Trotters ran amok at the Reebok Stadium.
Andy Carroll scored and hit the crossbar for the Magpies, who also had Fabricio Coloccini sent off, but Bolton were good value for their victory.
"Well I think it was (a five-star performance). I felt we started on the front foot, really took the game to Newcastle," Coyle told Sky Sports, adding it was a very valuable three points.
"We knew we were going to have to be at our best but I felt we were today and certainly warranted the three points."
He refused to get drawn on whether referee Howard Webb had got both penalties right, with replays showing the unlucky Jose Enrique had got the ball for the second spot-kick.
"The first one's a clear handball as far as I was concerned, there's a couple of other things that went on in the game that went unnoticed so I'm not going to get drawn on that.
"I'm delighted with the way my players went about it, quality performance, fully deserving the three points.
"There would be nobody (at this game) coming away thinking we didn't deserve to win this and I suggest we had a lot more chances than the ones we've scored with."
But Coyle refused to get carried away, despite Bolton moving up to fourth in the table.
"We're enjoying it at the moment, there's no doubt about that, but we have to continue working hard and that's what brings you rewards in football," he said.
