The album has been described by Devin as a return to a "song oriented album", with "more traditional arrangements", after his latest releases (Empath and The Puzzle).

Nightwork is a bonus album released with the deluxe edition of Lightwork.[5][19] According to Devin Townsend, the songs that ended up on Nightwork do not form a "throwaway album", they are songs that thematically didn't fit the main record.[20] Some critics have pointed out the more experimental nature of Nightwork, compared to Lightwork.[21]
