AllMusic[1]

Thom Jurek of AllMusic concludes his review with, "Meet Me at Midnite is one of those overlooked gems that got a second life. It's one of her strongest recordings; don't miss it."[1]

Geoffrey Himes of The Washington Post writes, "Muldaur has a smokey voice and a slippery sense of phrasing that make Meet Me at Midnite a satisfying return to '70s-style roots-rock."[4]
