All About Jazz | Favorable[3] |
AllMusic | [4] |
Glenn Astarita at All About Jazz gave MoonBabies a positive review, recommending it highly while praising the band's cohesiveness and each musician's technical craft.[3] François Couture at AllMusic gave the album three stars out of five, remarking that 'The music occasionally falls into the culprit of 'complex for complexity's sake', but also saying it was 'more varied and overall accomplished' than Planet X's 2000 debut album Universe. Guitarist Tony MacAlpine, in particular, was described as 'a magician, often stealing the show with his inspired solos and soaring lead lines—recalling Allan Holdsworth in his prime.'[4]
