Reception

The Allmusic review by Daniel Gioffre awarded the album 4½ stars, stating, "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".[2] 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".[3]

Personnel
gollark: Aerospike engines are, as far as I know, a thing which does actually exist and has some amount of use.
gollark: Well, you actually have a specific target, so I'll look.
gollark: What?
gollark: It's about as useful as the contents of my "random files" folder, which contains everything from zipped backups of my pastebin to some random textbooks Springer temporarily made free to some papers which looked interesting to HTML file archives of interesting web content.
gollark: There's not even a "README" explaining why any of the stuff in it is there and providing an overview, this *is not readable*.
