Exclaim!

Luneworks is not a lulling listen; rather, the album seems to turn restlessly with sonic insomnia, the songs tracing the arc of some sleepless passage like a night plagued by intense longing.

80
AllMusic

Significantly more experimental than Colleran's previous work, Luneworks also feels much more personal, and it continues to establish MMOTHS as a unique voice in the indie electronic scene.

The Line of Best Fit

It’s only when considered in its full form that the true beauty, complexity, and intricacy of this coming-of-age debut can be fully appreciated.

Loud and Quiet
Created in a month-long haul of 12 hour sessions, ‘Luneworks’ sighs every second of its nocturnal isolation.

XLR8R

Luneworks is a half-imagined spectre flickering into ethereal, viridian life. Recorded in LA while staying at a friend’s, cut loose from the familiarity of home, it’s a delicate, naked offering that flits between mournful vocals, processed backward synths and serrated edges of what sounds like guitar distortion.

Drowned in Sound
It’s night music. Headphone melodies that invite you into the world of Mmoths. A world of tearful robotics and shimmering melancholy.

PopMatters

Colleran steers the record away from monochromatic moods and textures while also giving the record a sonic center, a constant reminder that this is MMOTHS we’re listening to and not a collection of singles from various artists intent on grabbing whatever audience can be had.
