Who Congenital the Moon? received acclaim from music critics. On Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the anthology received an average score of 76 based on xx reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[half-dozen] Many reviews praised the album's experimentation and its progression from the typical sound of Gallagher'southward previous works. However, while Who Built The Moon received some of the all-time reviews of Gallagher'southward solo career, several mixed reviews criticized the anthology'due south product and mixing.

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic gave the album a very positive review, noting that "There is a certain blitz hearing him opt for glam, psychedelia, and candy-coated popular instead of respectable strumming. Once that initial rush fades, the album is notwithstanding satisfying due to its impeccable execution. Noel knows how to construct a sturdy song and Holmes knows how to dress them up in flashy clothes, and the combination results in Gallagher's best album since splitting up Oasis."[7] The Times gave the anthology a positive four-star review, maxim "This sounds like the work of a man who has been micro-dosing LSD. And listening to a lot of Chemic Brothers and Central Scream albums while he'southward at information technology. This isn't a groundbreaking epic, simply more than for middle-aged mods — brimming with cool references and psychedelic on a pocket-sized level."[xv] The Guardian wrote that "The tertiary tape from Noel Gallagher's solo outfit is, co-ordinate to the ex-Oasis man, merely him in 'more colourful clothes'. Brightness is certainly the first matter that strikes you about Who Built the Moon, an album that cloaks Gallagher'south hardy guitar-pop in glowing Smithsian riffs, tin whistle samples from novelty 60s tunes and a heady fug of riotous glam stone. Particular highlights include the gloriously Slade-esque Holy Mountain and the singalong-friendly Black and White Sunshine, which resembles Oasis basking on a dominicus lounger. Even the fact that the anthology regularly recalls some of the duller post-Britpop bands – It'south a Beautiful Globe is basically an Elbow rail backed past a breakbeat – tin can't dampen the joy that rings out from every corner. Producer David Holmes may be responsible for Noel'southward modify of pace, simply the vibrancy and strains of psychedelia never feel like intruders: instead, they act equally the perfect foil for the record'southward blissed-out lyrics about life-changing love."[nine]

The A.V. Gild were mixed in their C+ review, saying: "Whereas his brother Liam turned a fleck in on his recent solo debut, Noel Gallagher, unsurprisingly, is doing the contrary. His 3rd solo album with the High Flying Birds, Who Built The Moon?, turns everything up to 11, hardly e'er dropping down to add a necessary level of drama, or even bones tension. It's like an extremely amped-upwards version of Haven, but the excesses sway from impressive to taxing. Often the effort to be interesting only comes off every bit nonsensical cacophony, like the alarm-clock ring in 'Fort Knox' or the French dialogue at the end of 'It's A Cute World.' Although Gallagher can still capture the hooks that elude lesser songwriters, they near become lost in his orchestral overages. 'Blackness & White Sunshine' seems to have at least three superlative songs in it, while 'If Dear Is The Law' piles on sleigh bells, harmonica, and strings to its plaintive romantic plea, which tin can barely be heard past the time the chorus crescendos. Bonus track 'Expressionless In The Water' offers Gallagher's sentimental vocals with just acoustic guitar and piano, and underlines what's and then off virtually the rest of the album: He may be having fun layering a multitude of tracks in the studio, merely the truth is he doesn't need them."[viii]

In July, the anthology was nominated for the 2018 Mercury Prize, Gallagher's starting time placing on the award's shortlist since Oasis' (What's the Story) Morn Celebrity? in 1995.[17]
