  1. Ask the Night is about the longing for transformation, for escape to someplace intangible but achingly beautiful. Its futile desire for transcendence provides the listener exactly that.
  2. All of this is a far cry from Azure Ray's work, perhaps, but Ask the Night is often gorgeous in its simplicity.
  3. Occasionally too sweet for its own good, Fink's atmosphere of perpetual twilight never fails to soothe, even as it unsettles. [Fall 2009, p.58]
