Critical reception

The song received positive reviews from music critics. Lennat Mak in a review for MTV Asia described Piper's vocals as "sexy and luscious" and called the song "edgy".[2] Yahoo! reviewer Jackie Flynn wrote that the song was a "slick piece of dominatrix dance" with "big buffed chords and spike-heel beats".[3] Peter Robinson of NME described "Day & Night" as "exciting" and the magazine wrote that the song was "somewhat harder and American sounding" than her previous singles.[4][5]

Music video

The music video for "Day & Night" was directed by Cameron Casey.[6] It features Piper dancing at a nightclub with a group of friends. The video begins with Piper and three friends walking down a street at night, looking for an exclusive nightclub. After being allowed in, Piper and a group of male dancers begin to perform a dance routine. She is then shown dancing with a group of female dancers on a brightly lit street. The third scene features Piper dancing in a pink room. The video concludes with Piper and her dancers in a laundrette, dancing on top of washing machines and throwing washing powder around the room. The video premiered in the UK on 9 March 2000.[5]
