Night Owl is the third studio album by Scottish musician Gerry Rafferty. It was released a year after Rafferty's Platinum-selling album City to City. While not quite performing as well as its predecessor, Night Owl still managed enough sales to achieve platinum status in Canada, gold in the United Kingdom, and gold status in the U.S. The title song reached No. 5 on the UK charts. The album made the UK Top 10. The album was recorded at Chipping Norton Recording Studios, Chipping Norton, England. "Take the Money and Run" appears on the 1980 release Free Fall as "Take the Money."

Re-releases

On 30 January 2007 Collectables Records released City To City and Night Owl as a two-disc set.

Critical reception

The Los Angeles Times called the songs "concise, wry tales of love and ambition, inventively arranged and sung in a dry whine that carries just the right amount of detachment."
