The AllMusic review by Al Campbell states: "Among the highlights are a passionate reading of Duke Ellington's 'In a Sentimental Mood' and the title piece, a moving tribute to W. E. B. Du Bois, featuring the haunting soprano vocalist Christine Spencer employing a distinct 20th century classical influence, with Shepp on piano. Shepp is the solo horn on these dates, playing at peak form."[1] The CD version of On This Night includes an alternate take of "The Mac Man" and three of "The Chased" from the Further Fire Music album and a reading of his poem "Malcolm, Malcolm, Semper Malcolm", previously issued on the Fire Music album. The track "Gingerbread, Gingerbread Man" was removed and included as a bonus track on the CD reissue of the John Coltrane/Archie Shepp album New Thing at Newport.
