Sterling Whitaker of Taste of Country said the Reklaws "captured the perfect country party vibe" on "Long Live the Night". He stated:"Up-tempo acoustic guitar strumming underpins the track from the start,but the Reklaws fuse some fairly traditional elements with a contemporary sheen. All of it supports a singalong melody that is instantly addictive ear candy. The lyrics to "Long Live the Night" celebrate having a good time while you can,before the sun comes up." [1] Building Our Own Nashville called the song "very anthemic country pop song with great vocals”that is "hard not to sing along with". [5]
