Reception
According to The New York Times's John Rockwell, Night Flight "sounds more confident and appealing than her previous work". In another review, Rockwell stated Elliman "has a lovely, smoky soprano, she phrases with conviction in both ballads and up‐tempo numbers, and she is decidedly alluring to look at".

A tour for the album began February 13, 1978, in Philadelphia.
