Like in all of Trans-Siberian Orchestra's previous albums, the story in ''Night Castle ''is as important as the music. Though both music and story are designed to stand alone, when combined they are far more powerful and emotionally engaging. The progressive rock website ''Sea of Tranquility'' called ''Night Castle'' " A musical musical masterpiece that will have you on edge one moment and weeping like a baby the next." 〔SeaofTranquility, October 27, 2009〕 The story revolves around a young child on a beach late at night, where she encounters a mysterious but non-threatening stranger. While they build a sandcastle together by the light of a bonfire, he tells her a tale that takes her all around the world and throughout history. "Their most ambitious and adventurous work to date. It runs the gamut from hard rock to classical taking the listener on a journey through history detailing the triumphs and follies of man but is ultimately a story of transformation and love."〔Heavy Metal Cosmos, October 2009〕 Metal Kaoz album review said,"From the moment the play button is pressed, the listener is exposed to a wide range of emotions and colors reaching many a delightful climax...The second CD serves a hearty collection of re-arranged tracks that will blow your mind".〔MetalKaoz, 08/10/2011〕''SoundPress'' called it compelling, dramatic, diverse, and "although the songs stand on their own merit it is strongly suggested that listeners read the 64 page booklet," 〔SoundPress.net,November,2009〕 As of April, 2013, iTunes customers rated it 4.5 on a scale of 1 to 5, with 346 reviews and the vast majority rating it perfect.〔Itunes.apple.com〕 Skope Diverse Music Coverage starts their review with, "TSO is recognized as the ultimate touring operatic/theatrical act in music today".〔Skopemag.com, December 24, 2009〕
In 2011, Atlantic released the album on vinyl in an eight side (Four disc) set in a special slip box designed to avoid the cracked corners that plague many vinyl box set. The album includes a version of Kim Fowley's Nut Rocker as a tribute to Emerson, Lake & Palmer, who in turn had performed the song as a tribute to Tchaikovsky. Greg Lake from Emerson, Lake & Palmer honored the band by playing bass on the album.〔Night Castle credits〕
Bonus tracks include the songs "Child of the Night" and "Believe" which, according to the band, are a glimpse into future projects. An additional bonus track, "The Flight of Cassandra", was available exclusively online on Amazon.com, the first time that TSO had done something like this.
