Critical reception
Upon its release, Billboard called "Endless Nights" a "rock ballad presented in direct, no-frills style" and added that its "live-sounding spontaneity wins out over production polish".{{cite magazine |title=Reviews: Singles |magazine=Billboard |date=April 4, 1987 |publisher=Billboard Publications, Inc. |volume=99 |issue=14 |page=79 |issn=0006-2510}} Cash Box considered it to be a "gritty, emotionally rendered mid-tempo rock ballad". The reviewer noted Money's "wide, expressive voice" and the "memorable melody and tight production" which "bode[s] well for a solid run on the chart".{{cite magazine |title=Single Releases |magazine=Cash Box |date=April 4, 1987 |volume=50 |issue=40 |page=9 |issn=0008-7289}}
