From Library Journal
Starless Night is part of the continuing "Forgotten Realms" saga, which includes the author's best seller, The Legacy (Random Audio, 1992). Still shaken by the death of their comrade, Wolfgar, the companions, Regis, Brunor, Catibri, and Drizzt, mourn in their own ways. For Drizzt, however, sorrow turns to vengeance. Drizzt decides that he must return to the Underdark city of Menzoberranzan and see for himself that the drow do not again spread their evil on the surface world. Much like a fly who is caught in a spider's invisible web, Drizzt, too, finds himself entangled in events that he cannot control. Starless Night is good sword-and-sorcery fare and keeps a lively pace throughout. Narrator Simon Jones offers a solid performance that is occasionally marred by hokey sound effects. Those who are Dungeons and Dragons players will appreciate seeing the genre come to life. Recommended for "gamers" and listeners interested in fantasy.

From AudioFile
This fantasy adventure is a sequel to The Legacy, which is set in the world of "Forgotten Realms." Narrator Jones conquers the obscure and original vocabulary of this imaginary world, making the fantasy nomenclature sound like ordinary words. He does very well with a variety of accents and full casts: young and old, good and evil, human and inhuman. The program features extensive musical support, from single instruments to full symphonic styles. The music rises and falls with the action. In the tradition of radio, extensive sound effects are used. M.G.S. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
