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".[5] 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".[6]
