Critical reception

The Encyclopedia of Popular Music called Moonbathing on Sleeping Leaves "an impressively diverse album that experimented with ambient and trance grooves." 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."
