Critical reception In a contemporary review, Cash Box said that the song "follows the surefire hit formula" but "the loneliness-themed tune is more lyrical than usual." In a retrospective review, "New Moon on Monday" was praised by AllMusic journalist Donald A. Guarisco, who wrote: "The music holds the unusual lyrics together by wedding effervescent verse melodies that bounce high and low to a triumphant-sounding chorus with a rousing feel." Duran Duran re-recorded the song during sessions for their sixteenth studio album Danse Macabre. The re-recording, entitled "New Moon (Dark Phase)" featured former band member Andy Taylor on guitar. It was released on the deluxe version of Danse Macabre.

This track remains one of Duran Duran’s notable early‑1980s hits, reflecting their signature synth‑pop sound and MTV‑era visual storytelling. Disclaimer!
