Jazzwise reviewed the album stating,

Another strong Paul Stache production for Smoke. Herring is at his most assertive throughout 10 tracks ... Herring is probably the nearest we have today to a Cannonball Adderley. He's 50 now and plays with all the confidence in the world. This studio CD has all the energy of a ‘live’ club recording ... Arguably Herring's best record to date.

The New York Times said, "The alto saxophonist Vincent Herring projects his sound in a strong, centered beam, and even his most intense moments suggest a controlled combustion ... Mr. Herring should have a higher profile, as he confirms with a smart new album, Night and Day. ... the music here puts a contemporary spin on hard-bop."
