Reviews4 stars out of 5 - "...This glitters like diamonds....its twisted dreaminess confirms a triumph pf music over strategy.", Ranked #31 in Q's "Best 50 Albums of Q's Lifetime", Ranked #50 in Spin Magazine's "90 Greatest Albums of the '90s.", 7 (out of 10) - "...this French duo offers up a sort of weightless trip-hop exoticism. But rather than pillage the usual African or Brazilian sources, Nicolas Godin and Jean Benoit Dunckel--tubas and Moogs in hand--travel deep into the cheesy heart of whiteness, cannibalizing Muzak, Italian soundtracks, and lounge...", 8 (out of 10) - "...neo-symphonic bliss-outs for the next Generation Next. For the Jazz Club in space...a floaty, widescreen and spiritual music that updates The Beach Boys' instrumental odysseys...", 4 Stars Out of 5 -- "It's Proved Remarkably Enduring, Still Dreamlike and Wistfully Evocative...", Included in Mixmag's "Ten Best Albums Of 98" - "...beautiful easy listening with 70s synths and vocoders....The chill-out sound of nine-eight.", Ranked #27 in Mojo's "100 Modern Classics" -- "A perfectly realised melange of electronica, filmic expanse and autumnal folkisms.", Included in Q Magazine's "90 Best Albums of the 1990s.", 3.5 Stars (out of 5) - "...a truly obsessive hommage to easy listening, a sublime Eurocheese omelet....fits in with European confreres like the High Llamas and the Divine Comedy: orchestral pop that mixes the acoustic with the synthetic...", 5 stars out of 5 -- "MOON SAFARI remains exquisite, a pure, glacial pop moment....Utterly faultless and untouchable.", "...this French duo works the territory between sleazy blaxploitation grooves, naive rave-culture idealism, and pop songcraft. Though the melodies occasionally threaten to become saccharine,...Air leaven it with a welcome dash of Gallic irony." - Rating: A-, "...MOON SAFARI is their lush, joyous, oxygen-filled voyage to a thrillingly non-specific destination....a dream of a record.", Ranked #5 on Spin's List of "Top 20 Albums of '98."
