Donald Fagen's Nightfly - Love it or Hate it?


I am intrigued by this album. The first time i I heard it I was immediately hooked - I love it's laidback sound with puchy lines and funky beat...

What do you like (or hate) about it?

I think Nightfly is a very good CD. Probably the best of Donald Fagens three. I think of them as "smooth" or "easy listening" Steely Dan :<). Kamakiriad is very good but doesn't have the memorable and catchy tunes that Nightfly has. Morph The Cat is also enjoyable and I was glad to see it come out. All are meticulously produced. For me, sonics on all three are excellent.
Here's a holy grail for you Nightfly fanatics. It was released as a 24K gold Japanese CD in a very limited edition. I've only seen it listed once, on eBay at $249 Buy-it-now from a seller in Japan. I've never heard it or even seen one.
If anyone has this CD how does it sound?
