Critical reception
Upon its release, Neil Spencer of The Observer commented in a review of Tropical Brainstorm: "Tracks like "Mambo de la Luna" follow the same upbeat curve [as "In These Shoes?"] in pursuit of MacColl's desire to make 'a happy record'." Billboard commented: "Tropical Brainstorm contains some of the artist's most vibrant work in years, including the electro-leaning textures of "Mambo de la Luna"." Fiona Sturges of The Independent felt the song "extols the virtues of [MacColl's] new-found paradise".
Rick Anderson of AllMusic selected the song as an AMG Pick Track and described it as being "all about the flavor of life in Cuba". Larry Printz of The Morning Call considered the song "Latin-flavored" and an example of MacColl's ability to write "sunny tunes". Tom Moon of The Philadelphia Inquirer commented: "MacColl's uptight phrasing (coupled with attempts at singing in Spanish) mars the otherwise buoyant "Mambo de la Luna"."
