Critical reception
The Encyclopedia of Popular Music called Moonbathing on Sleeping Leaves "an impressively diverse album that experimented with ambient and trance grooves."[2] The Lincoln Journal Star called it "mesmerizing," writing that the band "creates its fascinating, lush sound mixture by playing everything – from farfisa organ and Moog synthesizer to finger cymbals, castanets and, literally, the kitchen sink."[3]
