"Like the late '60s that had just come to a shuddering close, 1970 was a confusing time for music in the U.K. (and everywhere else too). Psychedelia was fading out, bubblegum was on its last bounce, prog was getting fired up, and bands were getting heavier, moving to the country, and searching for mellow vibes. An expansive overview of the year would make for some very eclectic listening ... It makes for an extremely fun collection of musical weirdness that's tied together by a strong pop sensibility. No matter how weird the song, these groups still thought they had a chance at a hit. Of course, there are no hits here, but the collection itself is a smash. A few decades too late for the bands, yet just in time for lovers of oddball pop, off-kilter productions, and stylistic leaps of faith".

"I like hearing different stuff jammed together willy-nilly so that you don't know quite what is coming next, the element of surprise being key for me, so I didn't find it a problem. I suppose that kind of thing won't appeal to neater minds than me, but I found nothing that sounds truly jarring here. Apart from that, this is another eminently pleasing Grapefruit collection that fits jigsaw-like into the raft of Grapefruit/RPM/Esoteric boxsets. There's rarities galore and bigger names acting gloriously out of character, plus enough good tunes to make one sure that UK Pop was still in good hands, despite the Beatles' split body-blow. New Moon's In The Sky is the sound of 1970s Pop making a graceful transition to the conditions of a new decade".
