Reception

Double J said "There are a few new sounds and moods going on, but hasn't changed is the ultimate intent and result; this is another Xavier Rudd record made with great heart."
Tyler Jenke from Rolling Stone Australia said "Weaving together organic sounds of nature and wildlife, themes of environmentalism and Indigenous history—and powerful compositions that sees him working with the likes of J-Milla or the Slabb Brothers, Jan Juc Moon is one of Xavier Rudd's most resonant albums to date."
Liv Toerkell from Off Key said "Jan Juc Moon features some of the most prolific work of the artist so far... Drawing from the connectedness to nature, the album is inspired by the long conversation that Xavier continues to have with the grounds of his home country. Not always an easy or positive one, the singer is aware of the injustice and discrimination that the colonial past brought upon the country."
