Richard Roeper of the 'Chicago Sun-Times' gave the film a score of 2.5/4, writing: "the twist here is so creatively perverted and strange and bizarre that David Cronenberg might approve. Alas, there's just not enough gristle and gore on the bone of this story to make for a memorably haunting viewer experience." He concluded: "Despite the star performance by Winona Ryder and an intriguing setup, 'Gone in the Night' is destined to fade quickly from our memories." Dennis Harvey of 'Variety' wrote: "What at first looks like a standard missing-person suspense tale turns out to have a more complicated agenda but it is so haphazardly advanced and clumsily articulated, the film itself seems to be fumbling around for a cohering structure or mood." Jon Frosch of 'The Hollywood Reporter' called the film "depressingly slack and indecisive, neither leaning hard enough into its B-movie preposterousness nor taking the time to build any real, sustained suspense."
