"As soon as we had the idea for this song we knew that Astrid would be perfect for it," the duo told Clash magazine. "We had been fans of her music for ages and really wanted to do a record with her! When her vocal takes landed in my inbox from LA I was screaming!"[1]
Robin Murray of Clash magazine said: "'Just For One Night' could dominate the summer, the latest in a series of singles that bridge the gap between the underground and the charts. It's the sort of thing summer was invented for – production bedlam meets that coy vocal, it's a delicious, infectious pop music."[1] Mike Wass of Idolator said: "Norwegian goddess Astrid S lends her icy vocals to Blonde's 'Just for One Night,' creating brittle dance-pop magic."[3] Dance Vici regarded the song as "a smooth and arguably revitalised production that features the soothing vocals of the hugely talented Astrid S" and "embodies a newly stimulated direction in Blonde's sound and further demonstrates the natural evolution and international diversification the boys can produce."[4]
