With a 4-out-of-5-star rating, Johnathan Widran of AllMusic wrote, "Having been a top notch producer for such hot R&B acts as Stephanie Mills, Deniece Williams, and Jeffrey Osborne throughout the '80s, it comes as no surprise that Duke would deliver such a powerhouse of dance funk instrumentals towards the end of that decade. Being so pop oriented, however, what comes as a pleasant surprise is just how much room is left for Duke to display his sense of improvisation on the many keyboards he uses here."[3]
Calvin Gilbert of The Advocate declared, "Night After Night contains little to please anyone willing to settle for the lowest common denominator that's being pushed as music today. If your taste runs to an urban contemporary sound with a decidedly sophisticated approach, Duke's album is a great place to look."[4]
