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: And apparently it's generally much more useful for seeing what might be an effect rather than collecting data on frequency of things.
gollark: The data was probably somewhat more useful before it suddenly became embroiled in ridiculous political issues.
gollark: Nature fairly bad, as they say.
gollark: BRB, engineering new forms of pathogen to infect your machine-based body.
gollark: The problem is that biology is poorly architected. All the parts interlock and do 10 different confusing things and there's no documentation.
