Night Lights Harmony is a 1975 studio album by American soul music vocal group Four Tops, released by ABC Records.

Reception

Editors at AllMusic Guide scored this release two out of five stars.^[1] The 1992 edition of The Rolling Stone Album Guide also rated this release two out of five stars.^[2] In Portraying Performer Image in Record Album Cover Art , art critic Ken Bielen suggests that the cover painting—a departure from most Four Tops albums that feature photographs of the performers—shows the harmony that group's vocals can give listeners by combining the busy cityscape of Times Square along with the exotic birds meeting in the sky.^[3]
