The track, which features production by two American record producers DJ Dahi, and JayFrance[1] was serviced to urban contemporary radio as the fourth and final official single from Oxymoron on October 21, 2014.
With an spooky harmony floating in the background and a drum machine snapping Q's syllables shut, "Hell Of A Night" is the album's non-single with the most potential to become a hit.
"[3] Maya Kalev writing for Fact said the song, "is a twisted banger, but the predicted drop never materialises, and the effect is weirdly disorienting as Q’s rapid-fire raps cut through oohing vocal samples.
"[7] Brandon Soderberg of Spin said, the song was "a party track begging for a Zedd remix that flirts with EDM histrionics, but perversely denies us the true dance-floor climax it suggests.
[12] Sam Kriss of TheLineOfBestFit said, ""Hell of a Night" is a perfectly acceptable trap banger, full of richly throbbing bass and slick hi-hat rolls, but it’s a sadly formulaic break from the more compelling stuff elsewhere" on the album.
