"McCubbin gives this PIL classic a new lease of life with an M. Ward almost Low anthem take on the song. Wonderful indeed". Metal Postcard
RRR's Music Coordinator and announcer, Simon Winkler called it “an excellent and distinctive reworking”.
"Run All Night could be the best song he has ever recorded. It’s very moody and atmospheric rock and roll, with a pastoral sound similar to Died Pretty. Run All Night should be on a film soundtrack someday".
