Reception
Aurélien Ferenczi of Télérama wrote in 2009: "The cleverness of the film is how it finds unusual visual equivalents to classic themes of 60s auteur cinema—-at the heart, we are very close to Antonioni. Yves Montand and Anouk Aimée are terrific, and One Night... A Train is perhaps, quite simply, its director's best film."

Box office
According to Fox records the film required $1,650,000 in rentals to break even and by 11 December 1970 had made $525,000 so made a loss to the studio.
