  1. Some of their finest work to date.
  2. It isn't as succint, and heart-wrenching, as Someday... and it may not have the slicing modernity of HNIA's earlier works, but the idea of the project propels it still.
  3. Last Night sacrifices the unified statement of Someday for a more varied, deliriously fun lack of coherency.
  4. Q Magazine

    Pippen's lush tones are again a good foil for Defever's haunting music. [Oct 2002, p.109]
  5. Uncut

    Less startling than its predecessor Ft Lake, but it's still a brave departure for a 4AD band previously synonymous with ethereal whimsy. [Nov 2002, p.118]
  6. Last Night is a perfectly serviceable mellow slow-jam R&B record -- and that's a damned shame.
  7. Last Night is as moody as funk can get, and the results range from soulful to pretentious.
