Reception Film Weekly wrote: "The engaging personality of Henry Edwards goes a long way towards disguising the thin material of The Girl in the Night. ... Eric Maturin succeeds in being pleasantly sinister as a crook; Dorothy Boyd weeps delightfully, and Edwards is, of course, calmly and jauntily capable. Moderate entertainment."
Kine Weekly wrote: "Mystery and melodrama are to some extent enlivened by Henry Edwards' cheerful personality. The plot is not intelligent, but carried along by a wave of quick action, and should command the attention of popular audiences. "
