number 65 on their "100 Essential French Rock Albums" list. In a retrospective review, John Bush of AllMusic commented that Moon Safari "delivered the emotional power of great dance music even while pushing the barriers of what 'electronica' could or should sound like", and that the album "proved they could also write accessible pop songs like 'Sexy Boy' and 'Kelly Watch the Stars'" while also containing successful experiments with less pop-oriented material. The album was also included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. In 2000 it was voted number 68 in Colin Larkin's All Time Top 1000 Albums. Influence Dave Depper of American alternative rock band Death Cab for Cutie recreated the entire Moon Safari for his cover album, released in November 2021.
