Little Moon is a 2009 studio album by American singer-songwriter Grant-Lee Phillips. It has received positive reviews from critics.
Editors at AllMusic rated this album 4 out of 5 stars, with critic James Christopher Monger writing that "Phillips draws the bulk of his material out of the positive vibes of new fatherhood" with an album that has various genres and moods, but "all signature Grant Lee Phillips". [1] In American Songwriter , Peter Gerstenzang rated Little Moon 4 out of 5 stars, calling it Phillips' strongest album. [2] Stephen Rylance of PopMatters gave this release a 5 out of 10, stating that this album gives glimpses of how good Phillips can be but the inconsistent quality between tracks results in a middling album that "sees a lack of imagination and an over-reliance on hackneyed musical and lyrical phrases threatening to eclipse Grant-Lee Phillips’ indubitable talent".

Online retailer iTunes named this Best Singer/Songwriter Album of 2009. [4] "Strangest Thing" was highlighted as Song of the Day by NPR, where Barbara Mitchell called it "an ode to optimism". [5]
