Reception

Brian Lowry, of Variety said: "Sensitively directed by Peter Levin, the script by Susanna Styron and Bridget Terry -- who last collaborated on Hallmark's lyrical "Back When We Were Grownups"—is devoid of real surprises. Inevitably, Bobby's reclamation—and its impact on Vicki's neatly ordered world—will surely have its own rewards, culminating in the by-now-familiar notion that family is what you make of it."{{cite web |url=https://variety.com/2006/film/awards/in-from-the-night-1200516847/ |title=In From the Night |accessdate=2009-12-19 |last=Lowry |first=Brian |date=2006-03-20 |work=Variety |archive-date=2012-11-04 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121104090753/http://www.variety.com/awardcentral_review/VE1117930283.html?nav=reviews |url-status=live }} Rob Hedalt, of The Free Lance-Star, said "Two things make the latest Hallmark film special: the fact that the hero is played by the superb actress Marcia Gay Harden. And the fact that her character, in many ways, is just as flawed as the nephew she tries to save."{{cite web |url=http://fredericksburg.com/News/FLS/2006/042006/04162006/182694 |title=Hallmark's 'In From the Night' wins with Marcia Gay Harden |accessdate=2009-12-19 |last=Hedelt |first=Rob |date=2006-04-16 |location=Fredericksburg|newspaper=The Free Lance-Star |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120711081840/http://fredericksburg.com/News/FLS/2006/042006/04162006/182694 |archive-date=2012-07-11 |url-status=dead }} The film was reviewed by Chicago Tribune.{{cite web|url=https://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/chicagotribune/access/1025602541.html?dids=1025602541:1025602541&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&type=current&date=Apr+23%2C+2006&author=Jay+Bobbin%2C+%28copyright%29+Zap2it&pub=Chicago+Tribune&desc=%27In+From+the+Night%27+%3B+Oscar+winner+Harden+stars+in+CBS%27+latest+Hallmark+Hall+of+Fame+drama&pqatl=google |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120713083716/http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/chicagotribune/access/1025602541.html?dids=1025602541:1025602541&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&type=current&date=Apr+23,+2006&author=Jay+Bobbin,+(copyright)+Zap2it&pub=Chicago+Tribune&desc='In+From+the+Night'+;+Oscar+winner+Harden+stars+in+CBS'+latest+Hallmark+Hall+of+Fame+drama&pqatl=google |url-status=dead |archive-date=July 13, 2012 |title='In From the Night'; Oscar winner Harden stars in CBS' latest Hallmark Hall of Fame drama |accessdate=2009-12-19 |last=Bobbin |first=Jay |date=2006-03-26 |work=Chicago Tribune }}
