The production is very strong, especially considering that the album was created in a week. In all in all, this is a very good disc, filled with a wide range of topics to get your brain working and your head nodding. Sam Gunnell of Cross Rhythms rated the album eight out of ten squares and stated that when he first heard Deepspace5, he dismissed the group as "just another depressing Christian rap group", but that this release proved him wrong. Exclaim!'s Thomas Quinlan opined that "Deepspace 5 demonstrate skills on their debut album that should get them respect, regardless of the message" and concluded that the group "is another example that Christian hip-hop is taking great strides forward." Jesus Freak Hideout gave the album four stars, calling Deepspace5 "the hip hop that has been missed in the Christian music industry until now". RapReviews.com scored the album nine out of ten, expressing that while the album displays some flaws typical of underground hip hop, namely that it avoids "party-starters", instead preferring to stay "laid back and mellow", and also that sometimes the songs start to all sound the same, but concluded that "Look past those tiny flaws and you'll find a fantastic rap album with enough depth to keep you coming back again and again. Hard beats and hard rhymes in a tight overall package is just the beginning here." Rapzilla gave the album a four out of five and stated: Deepspace5 represents some of the best talent hip hop has to offer which makes it absolutely shameful that The Night... was basically released under the rug. The push on this project was surprisingly minimal and as the rumors of a sophomore release tickle my ears, I only hope that things change.
