AllMusic has suggested that Migration reflects a stronger influence from Ted Nugent than the previous Amboy Dukes albums, citing the absence of drug-related themes in the lyrics due to Nugent's anti-drug stance, as well as the lack of a ‘spaced-out’ follow-up to "Journey to the Center of the Mind", the band's biggest hit. [1] The band also took a more eclectic approach to composition on Migration. [1] "I'm Not a Juvenile Delinquent' is a cover of a song by Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers." [1]

Migration received a generally lukewarm reception upon its release. [1] In a retrospective review, AllMusic described the album as ‘more ambitious’ than Journey to the Center of the Mind and suggested that Migration ‘might be the better of the two discs, if not the best of the Amboy Dukes’ career.’ [1]
