  1. 8.5 |   FasterLouder

    Moody, atmospheric, dark, jarring and beautiful all at once. In many ways no song, like each album, sounds exactly like the other, yet they all manage to sound consistently like Unkle

  2. 8.0 |   BBC

    There’s an abundance of heaven here, stars or no stars. The best UNKLE album this century

  3. 8.0 |   Independent on Sunday

    Either no longer attracting or no longer asking the major names who have guest-vocalled in the past, [this] is conversely, his strongest release since Psyence Fiction in 1998

  4. 8.0 |   Q

    Print edition only

  5. 7.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    While this is an album that falls back on its electronic and casually hip-hop backbone, it isn't frightened to explore conventionally progressive rock territories

  6. 7.0 |   Clash

    At turns utterly beautiful and thoroughly frustrating, there is no doubting the tarnished grandeur on display albeit tempered by some unnecessary navel gazing

  7. 7.0 |   NME

    This is a fine record and you can add an extra point to the score if your stereo cost over a grand

  8. 6.0 |   Rave Magazine

    Think of Where Did The Night Fall as a document from an alternative timeline of dance music

  9. 6.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    After fifty-two minutes of sonic pounding, the closing track ‘Another Night Out’ comes as a blessed and belated reprieve

  10. 6.0 |   The Times

    The people he invites along for the ride are of more interest than the outmoded method of transport in which he delivers his vision

  13. 5.9 |   Pitchfork

    It's easy enough to enjoy Night while it's playing, but even after so many listens, it's hard to care about it

  14. 4.0 |   The Sunday Times

    As the songs slow down, we enter the same moody, portentous sound Unkle have been purveying for years, without any idea what the mood is supposed to be, or what those dark chords actually portend

  15. 4.0 |   State

    Had UNKLE imposed a bit more tracklisting discipline, and dispensed with the sound-a-like contributors, they might have made a fifth album to surprise us al

  16. 4.0 |   The Skinny

    It’s expansive and slick, but altogether UNKLE’s fifth album comes across as unfocused and largely unremarkable

  17. 3.0 |   PopMatters

    As an art piece, it can be appreciated. As an album of music that people are supposed to listen to and enjoy over and over and over again (which is what it sounds like the intent really was), not so much
