The single was released in October 1993 on the German label Dance Pool. It is widely regarded as one of the biggest electronic music anthems of the 1990s, reaching number one in Finland, Greece and Spain, as well as number two in Australia, Iceland and Italy in 1994. On the Eurochart Hot 100, "Right in the Night" peaked at number four. On the UK Singles Chart, the song originally peaked at number 31, but after a re-release in 1995 it reached a new peak of number 10. It has been extensively anthologised, further indicating the song's significance in trance music's evolution.

Jam & Spoon and Plavka performed the song on many different European TV-shows and concerts, like the British music chart television programme Top of the Pops, the Italian singing competition Festivalbar and the Finnish 1994 national final of Eurovision Song Contest.[3] It earned the duo an award in the category for "Best Progressive hi-NRG Recording" at the 1995 Hi-NRG Music Awards in the US.[4]

Critical reception

Barry Walters from The Advocate stated that the song "distills Jam & Spoon's most accessible aspects into one flawlessly girly flamenco-style hi-NRG anthem."[5] Larry Flick from Billboard described it as a "jumpy, disco/pop ditty that strobes with bright synths and a killer hook." He noted that "at first, singer Plavka will have you thinking of Madonna, though her own unique tones and nuances eventually shine through. She has a field day with the song, more than holding her own against the track's busy array of sound effects."[6] In an 1997 review, the magazine called it a "percolating ditty [that] was years ahead of its time, since the groove and synths sound as fresh as ever. And the splashes of flamenco guitars are an enticing flavor".[7] Dave Sholin from the Gavin Report said that "this high-energy tune should have no trouble making its way up the chart soon."[8] Music & Media commented that "this fast but mellow house track with ambient works so well that it should go a long way to establish this well-reputed remix and production duo as artists in their own right."[9] Wendi Cermak from The Network Forty wrote that "this is signature Jam & Spoon with its ethereal trance/ambient electronic rhythms, light female vocals and their excellent guitar work on the intro".[10]

Chart performance

"Right in the Night" was very successful on the charts on several continents, remaining one of the duo's biggest hit to date. In Europe, it peaked at number-one in Finland, Greece and Spain, and within the Top 10 in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Iceland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Scotland, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, as well as on the Eurochart Hot 100, where it hit number 4. On MTV's European Top 20, it peaked at number 5. In the UK, the single reached number 10 in its second run on the UK Singles Chart on June 11, 1995.[11] But on the UK Dance Chart, it peaked at number 6. Outside Europe, "Right in the Night" climbed to the number-one position on the RPM Dance Chart in Canada, number 2 in Australia, number 3 on the Billboard Dance Club Songs in the US and number 9 in New Zealand. It earned a gold recordd in Germany, after 250,000 singles were sold, and a platinum record in Australia, with a sale of 70,000 singles.
