Linda Woodhead praises it as a boundary-crossing work that challenges traditional distinctions between migrants and hosts, home and abroad, while weaving together religion, migration, space, multiculturalism, and policy. Manuel A. Vasquez highlights its multidisciplinary approach, revealing how migrants use religious traditions to shape identities and engage with society in contemporary cities. The Journal of Contemporary Religion calls it a rich source of information and innovative analysis.
