Critic Reviews
Show All-
Entertainment Weekly
Enya’s glistening cascades of piano and synthesizers sound soothingly like a gently flowing waterfall. ... The combined effect is both captivating and elusive. The frail melodies seem to slip through your fingers, repeatedly drawing you back into the record in the vain hope that this time you will pin it down.

All Music
Some songs call to mind traditional Irish music even more strongly than much of her earlier work, while two other tracks are haunting rearrangements of old, traditional numbers. ... Enya shows herself to still have it, to grand effect.

1991 - far from instant album but if you put the required work in you'll find it a rewarding listening experience

NME
1991 - Light, airy, heavenly, of unearthly delicacy; Enya defines the word ethereal. And, if you think about it, Enya is the Anti-Nirvana; without her, hardcore would not exist. So, if you grow tired of thrash-metal hell, graze in the Elysian fields of Shepherd Moons, and weep.

1992 - We hear the same dreamy textures - the celestial harps, the muffled cathedral bells, the cold gleams of sampled grands warmed by deep velvet washes, the gentle plunking arpeggios behind angelic sampled "ahs."

Tim & Jenn's Tale of Sir Robin
2000 - Like Watermark, this album features Enya's skillful use of multi-layer vocals, Latin and Gaelic as well as English, and a variety of instruments old and new. It differs in its mood, which is calmer and more serene.

Maestro Bl;og
2012 - She still does an excellent job this time around, but because of its striking resemblance to "Watermark", this album would've been perfect if Enya had changed her game a little more drastically.

2018 - As an album Shepherd Moons is euphoric, but in a spiritual way, like it’s helping you reach inner peace.
