The Allmusic review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine awarded the album 3½ stars and stated "Memphis to New York Spirit doesn't have a consistent groove like some other Patton records, but when it does click, the results are remarkable; it's worthy addition to a funky soul-jazz collection".[2]

gollark: A lot of stuff probably doesn't have it configured, is the thing.
gollark: My website *should* support it, but I don't really do extensive testing.
gollark: I wonder how much stuff actually supports IPv6.
gollark: That's fair.
gollark: With IPv6 existing memorizing random IP addresses is increasingly impractical, and computers can mostly memorize better anyway.
