"An infuriating collection of songs, its complete disregard towards any sort of structure or cohesion is so overpowering, you'll be baffled how the Brooklyn-based five piece cobbled their fourth record together at all ... With some clear-minded editing, a workable pair of EPs could have been forged from New Moon. As it is, the cumulative effect of lumping so many competing ideas together is a mess. A frustratingly muddled mess".

"Gudskelov er der fortsat masser af både integritet og uregerlighed over The Men, og hvis man skulle være i tvivl, kan man smide det otte minutter lange afslutningsnummer 'Supermoon' på anlægget. Her smadderrocker og feedbacker Brooklyn-kvartetten den det bedste de har lært, så al snak om blødsødenhed og at sælge ud forstummer. 'New Moon' er en alsidig og pissefed rockplade. Længere er den ikke".

"Never shy about wearing their influences on their sleeves, the Brooklyn quintet has moved past homages to hardcore acts, '70s punk, and Sonic Youth, opting for their own jagged version of country-infused AOR ... The Men have been able to retain a steady audience of hardcore and punk fans despite growing more accessible with each release. Sacrificing recklessness is different from sacrificing passion, and New Moon cements The Men as one of the most exciting rock acts today".
