him aware of the fact "that someone on the other end of the world exactly understood what he was trying to say." The Reprise Records label on the vinyl copy was printed in black and white rather than the standard orange color, a process Young undertook again on the CD label art for 1994's Sleeps with Angels. Early editions of the sleeve were made on blotter paper. In Shakey, Young maintains that along with the inserts there was a small package of glitter inside the sleeve that was meant to fall out ("our Bowie statement"), spilling when the listener took the record out. However, neither McDonough nor Young archivist Joel Bernstein have yet found a copy of Tonight's the Night featuring the glitter package. Critical reception Dave Marsh wrote in the original Rolling Stone review: In a follow-up review published in the 1983 edition of The New Rolling Stone Record Guide, Marsh writes: Chris Fallon of PopMatters said, "Tonight's the Night is that one rare record I will never tire of."
