The WireFeb 4, 2025Closing track “Alone Together” is the exception, with its laidback 70s groove. Otherwise there is a rich sense of eerie detachment, more Eno than disco. Not a desolate one but a widescreen richness of field recordings, sweetly echoing synth tones, spoken word interludes, plaintive wheepling of birds and clarinets, ghostly acousmatic sounds and layered vocal harmonies. [Mar 2025, p.46]

Record CollectorJan 24, 2025Just when you're thinking Saint Etienne can't possibly maintain such high standards after three decades, The Night begins to turn your head around. [Feb 2025, p.105]

Jan 22, 2025The Night has quite a bit going for it, including the meticulous arrangements and sound design, as well as the weight of Saint Etienne’s rich catalog and their status as respected elder statesmen of sophisticated pop music. Even so, The Night sounds uncharacteristically forced, ultimately collapsing under the weight of its own pretension.
