Background

Woon described finishing the song as one of the highlights of the album-making process: ::quote [...] I put the bass on Night Air, off this Casio keyboard my mate found in a skip. It just had this real gnarly, smooth, glidy bass. It was really nice to find a way of injecting weight into the tune without it being aggressive, that was exciting. That locked that track together. It was the first track where the mood and the sentiment fitted with the sound of the song, it was working as a whole. ::

Critical reception

David Drake from Pitchfork noted the song for being "impeccably crafted", recreating the nocturnal elements, which render the listener a "lonely midnight victim of fever or desire". He added that the "powerful" track's "exotic sexuality" is highlighted by Woon's vocals and seduction. The Observer reviewer Kitty Empire called the track "otherworldly magic" and "dark". NME described it as "antsily infectious, scratchy and edgy".
