The Washington Independent Review of Books' Patricia Schultheis called The Night Tiger "a galloping good read that’s blessedly free of political polemics and post-colonial self-righteousness." In Locus magazine, it was called "an immersive ride into the past a slow burn of a novel that hints early and often at regional myths and legends. Meanwhile, unexplained deaths take place across the area, and there are rumours of the harimau jadian, a tiger that can transform into a human. Houseboy Ren is trying to fulfil his former master’s dying wish: to find his lost finger within 49 days. One of her dance partners leaves her with a human finger. In 1931, in British Malaya, Ji Lin works as an apprentice dressmaker and dancehall girl. In 2022, The Night Tiger was included on the Big Jubilee Read, a list of 70 books by Commonwealth authors produced to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee.
