Looking back at the album in 2018, Marshall told "The Guardian", "It makes me feel good and very humbled, how many people have told me "Moon Pix" was important to them for personal reasons. It’s beautiful...To me "Moon Pix" was just so elementary in its simplicity. I never really felt it was that good but people say, 'It’s your best record.'" Marshall revealed that "it feels like I’m alive today because of being able to write those songs. Instead of darkness, instead of other choices humans make, I chose to write songs. "Moon Pix" was my salvation as a very mixed-up young person. And suddenly I see that."
