AllMusic review by Daniel Gioffre stated: "This record is the kind of album that one would like to hear while enjoying a late-night cigarette on the roof of a Manhattan apartment. Moody, atmospheric, and beautiful."
The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album 3 stars, stating, "
Night demonstrated two things: first, that Abercrombie had outgrown the association with Hammer in particular, probably because increasingly he could give those evocative keyboard figures his own spin, using pedals and later, guitar synth; and secondly, that he never sounds entirely easy in the company of a horn player whose main strength is rapid fire changes." The ECM website states that the album stands out in the ECM catalogue: "Though something of an blip in the Abercrombie back catalogue,
Night is far from benign. Aside from the effusive music, what really distinguishes this album is its sound. Another slam-dunk for engineer Jan Erik Kongshaug." ==Track listing==
