    I have been a Sea and Cake fan since 2000, and I have seen them perform live several times. I enjoyed Everybody, and Car Alarm had some wondrous moments, but on the whole, I wasn't sure I would love another album of theirs. Though this album is only 30 minutes long, it offers one beautiful song, "Lyric," and each of the six songs offers something unique. I'm glad I haven't given up onI have been a Sea and Cake fan since 2000, and I have seen them perform live several times.

    The Moonlight Butterfly is yet another effortlessly charming work from The Sea and Cake.

    [It] offers the comfortable familiarity of an old flannel shirt from the 90s but leaves you wondering if time has stood still for the Chicago post-rock quartet. It has not, as is apparent on the five follow-up songs.

    Brains and beauty come from the Chicagoan cult-rockers. [July 2011, p. 119]
