"While First Comes the Night doesn't break any new stylistic ground for Isaak, it also doesn't hurt his reputation, and deftly reinforces his image as a glamorous, charming torchbearer for traditional pop songcraft".

"Overall, it's a fun but hit-or-miss affair, and in the end the most compelling songs are played straight. See the Ernest Tubb-style bonus cut "Keep Hangin' On," and "Kiss Me Like a Stranger," awash in brushed snares and Bigsby-bar vibrato - a ballad that, true to form, conjures a 1950s dream sequence, right down to the scent of Brylcreem".
