The first single from the album was "Liars and Battlelines", which had a music video created for it, the video is said to have still been receiving rotation on mtvU in May 2008.[4] According to Ryan Dunson in a lyric feature on PlayPro.com, "This song is about loving someone even though they have lied to you before. It is about looking over the fact that someone lies in the relationship. A relationship like that can only go on for so long, then its time to pack up and leave."[5] Multiple tracks from The Goodnight Moon have featured on American MTV shows The Hills and Newport Harbor: The Real Orange County.[4]

AbsolutePunk.net's Rohan Kohli stated on the music website, "I instantly fell in love with the gorgeous vocals, lush, soaring choruses, smooth, harmonic guitar leads, and the heaps upon heaps of layers and accents."[3] In support of the album, the band took part in the 2006 Warped Tour.[6]
