Critical reception

AllMusic wrote: "Whether he's hitting the highway on tour in a beat-up van, harvesting weed in Mexico, or jotting down mental notes about strangers in the park, Prophet has a great eye for details, and these 12 songs are often powerfully evocative and acidly funny, short stories of a memorable life where fate often puts a twist in the tale." Esquire thought that the influence of Prophet's hometown, San Francisco, "is evident in the still psychedelic but also jamming, occasionally neurotic vibe." The Chicago Tribune called Night Surfer "an album that distills some of Prophet's entrancing dichotomies: It's a sloppy and refined, deeply rooted, contemporary garage-rock gem with glimmers of 1960s soul in the production, Alejandro Escovedo in the singing and the Beat poetry tradition in the writing."
