AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated "Soul in the Night offered up Chicago's famous muscular jazz sound by two of its masters... Stitt and Green wrap their saxes around a tune, exploring gritty and fluid possibilities. The album's stereo version gives each player his own spotlight, as Stitt has one speaker and Green has the other to himself".Yanow, S.
