The album received generally positive reviews; The New York Times’s Stephen Holden observed that New Moon Shine "finds [Taylor] near the top of his form in songs like 'Slap Leather,' a playfully pungent rock-and-roll critique of social and environmental ills, and 'Copperline,' a nostalgic ballad remembering his North Carolina roots."[6]
Fairport Convention covered "The Frozen Man" on their album Old New Borrowed Blue.
