Amazon.co.uk Review
After three albums that seemed to find Moby in some sort of creative stasis, Last Night sees the once-restless DJ/producer changing the record and returning to one of his first loves: the heaving dancefloors of his native New York. Soulful, uplifting piano rave is the order of the day here, and while some hallmarks of Play remain--Moby still has a fascination for long, tearful synth lines and sampled vocals, which he drops in here and there, seemingly to yield the maximum emotional response--Last Night still feels like a clean slate. "I Like to Move in Here" shimmies along on a languid house beat that doffs a cap to early hip-hop in the shape of a cameo from MC Grandmaster Caz, one of the writers of "Rapper's Delight", while "Everyday It's 1989" is the sort of overdriven, ecstatic piano house that Moby perfected on his 1995 classic Everything Is Wrong. There's more guest spots in the shape of British MC Aynzli, the Nigerian 419 Squad and Sylvia from dark NYC disco band Kudu, but the most impressive thing about Last Night is the peaks that Moby can reach when he's working alone: see the grand, emotive swell of "Sweet Apocalypse", cold synths and driving beats that, were it released by James Murphy, would be hailed as genius--and rightfully, too.--Louis Pattison

 hmmm May 15, 2008
Maybe I waited to long for this album, maybe I expected greater things, maybe it will grow on me after a few more listens. I hope so, Moby is a very talented man and whilst a few tracks were nearly up there in his former league , most of the time I was left wondering "Haven't I heard this before?"
 sexy & beautiful May 13, 2008
moby back to his ecclectic best.
this album helps you choose your outfit, put your make up on, get down the club, have a great time, get back home, chill out and think on about the wonderful night you've had and cool people you've met.
all in 60mins.
powerful, emotive and most importantly FUN!
1989? May 12, 2008
Moby has always been an interesting artist, however, not consistantly interesting. I was majorly disappionted with his last effort and was hoping for something a little more upbeat this time around.
"Last Night" is supposed to reclaim Moby's crown as a top dance artist. This however, is not really the case. The album flits from a very early nineties dance sound(not old enough yet to be retro therefore just naff)to heavily electro dance influenced. This results in a mixed bag of quality. Tracks like "Disco Lies" and "I'm In Love" sound contempory and are mixed to almost perfection, this is surely the route Moby should have followed throughout the whole of the album. "Ooh Yeah" is another excellent track which due to the nature of Moby will probably be featured on an advert in the coming weeks. The rest of the album is tired and old hat.
If Moby was slightly more consistant this album would blow your socks off, however, as it stands i doubt it would even cause a slight breeze.

14 tracks of sheer brilliance. Here, Moby returns to his roots, and it's about time too. As a loyal Moby fan he once again impresses me with his versatility. 'Alice' and 'Disco Lies' will blow you away.

What a waste of a talent. Little wonder he only made five quid on the BBC Culture Show Busker's challenge! The memories of Play and 18 are long gone. Instead we are fed a souless, sterile diet of dead dance music dredged up from the bowels of a back street joint which is about to close down and spill its sad contents onto the mean streets at 3am.
The DJ is a scruffy little anorak in a hoody who has spent to much time in the dark and needs to get out in the sun a bit more.
Perhaps famously vegan, christian muso MOBY needs to sink his teeth into some meat. It might stir his creative juices which appear to have run as dry as a bone ?
