Critical reception

edit

Lewis Corner of Digital Spy gave the song a positive review stating:

"I've been waiting all night for you to tell me what you want," singer Ella Eyre's warm and tender vocal declares over steadily rising drum-step and synthesised organ, before the chorus bursts open with soul-flying brass. It may echo much of their previous hits – if not with a slightly darker edge – but nevertheless their sound is one they can officially claim to dominate.      .[4]

Music video

edit

A music video to accompany the release of "Waiting All Night" was first released onto YouTube on 4 April 2013 at a total length of five minutes and fifteen seconds. The music video is the inspirational true life-story of San Francisco-born BMX champion and actor Kurt Yaeger, who became an amputee after an accident in 2006. All the characters in the clip are professional BMX'ers and the real friends of Yaeger.[5] Director Nez Khammal approached him after he found his information on his website and told Yaeger that the band was interested in his story.[6]

Accolades

edit

At the 2014 Brit Awards, the song won the British Single of the Year.
