Critical reception
Johnathan Widran of AllMusic noted that "just because he's digging the mellower lifestyle of living in Phoenix, don't get the idea that Marion Meadows is about to abandon his urban roots and go new age." Widran praised the "velvety soprano" and "smoky sax" featured in the album. Widran also noted that the album alternated between "dreamy slices of optimism" and "raw first-take ensemble explosions".[1]
Hilarie Grey, writing for JazzTimes, noted the Inak release, stating that Meadows "found an appropriate showcase for his range". They praised Meadows' "captivating leads" and "funk chops", while noting the ensemble of musicians featured in the album.[3] The New Pittsburgh Courier called it "a fresh, street-wise and funky tribute to a night on the town, club-hopping in the city that never sleeps from dusk to dawn".[4]
