According to Elia Habib, an expert of French charts, the song is characterized by a "rapid and lively rhythm, a very simple refrain therefore easy to remember, a tune that becomes embedded in the eardrums, lyrics referring to summer festive atmosphere".

In the music video for "Nuit de folie", the two singers perform a choreography on "shimmering backgrounds", in an "astonishing variety of head to foot positions".

The music video is now considered old-fashioned[1] and in an interview, both singers admitted that they do not like to see it aired on TV because they find it antiquated.

A review in Pan-European magazine Music & Media described "Nuit de folie" as a production from the "French equivalent of Modern Talking" and "a typical good-time summer hit" with "an inescapable hook and a nice pop rap in the middle (no.1 in France).

"[2] In another issue of the magazine, it is stated: "One cannot resist being infatuated when hearing [this] pop disco single", adding that it has "one of the most charming choruses to be heard for a long time" with an "unpretentious, but highly convincing production".
