Reception to the album was generally positive.
Dave Gelly for The Guardian summarised "[t]he arrangements are sharp and witty, the singing deceptively easygoing, and the guitar playing just terrific. It's a delight." [4]
Rick Anderson commented for AllMusic that "[w]hat's charming about this album, beyond the sheer quality of the songs and the arrangements, is Pizzarelli's obvious and genuine love for this really broad gamut of material, and his insight into the varied qualities that make them all great songs." [1]
Will Layman's review for the PopMatters magazine was more mixed, commenting "[t]he delightful singer and guitarist plays pop/rock material in his jazz style, managing a couple of miracles and few real misses." [5]
And for the Boston Globe, Steve Greenlee wrote "[i]f you like Pizzarelli, you'll enjoy this immensely. If, however, you find his voice too thin and nasally, then “Double Exposure” won't win you over." [6]

In the Still of the Night is an album by American pop singer Johnny Mathis that was released on August 8, 1989, by Columbia Records and continues the trend that began with his 1986 collaboration with Henry Mancini, The Hollywood Musicals, in that the project is devoted to a specific theme that ties the songs together. Mathis hints at the theme for this album in the liner notes for his 1993 box set The Music of Johnny Mathis: A Personal Collection, where he gives his thoughts on the 1964 Little Anthony and the Imperials song "I'm on the Outside Looking In" that he covered for his 1988 album Once in a While: "That was group singers' kind of material. I was singing other stuff. It wasn't the picture of the lone crooner standing in the spotlight. That's what I was doing when all this other stuff was going on. I never listened to it until it was brought to my attention by [that album's producers] Peter Bunetta and Rick Chudacoff." Mathis chose to continue his work with Bunetta and Chudacoff on this project, which focuses on "this other stuff" that Mathis refers to: pop and R&B hits from the 1950s and 1960s.
