Rolling Stone's Don Shewey dismissed Bonoff's work as "sappy, MOR schlock," but noted that "Trouble Again" and "Baby Don't Go" are "fast, fun and disposable — i.e., everything a pop single should be... The remainder of Restless Nights is insufferable sludge."[4] The New York Times called Restless Nights "one of the most lovely albums of the year," writing that the songs "are sung with elegance, and their instrumental support is similarly pristine."[5]
AllMusic's William Ruhlmann retrospectively called "Trouble Again" "a gem (as Linda Ronstadt proved when she recorded it)" but concluded that the album "did not represent the leap that would have been required to vault Bonoff into the ranks of her star friends."[3]
