Critic Reviews
Show All-
Ultimate Classic Rock
Virtually every song on Night Moves has a hunger, toughness and drive that is almost palpable, and in the lyrics Seger has written for the powerful surging melodies can be found a continuing fascination with the underdog, the loser and the oppressed.

All Music
Seger may have been this consistent before (on Seven, for example), but the mood had never been as successfully varied, nor had his songwriting been as consistent, intimate, and personal. Thankfully, this was delivered to a mass audience eager for Seger, and it not only became a hit, but one of the universally acknowledged high points of late-'70s rock & roll.

Super Seventies
Night Moves offers rock & roll in the classic mold: bold, aggressive and grandiloquent. Seger's Silver Bullet Band and the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section share the backup credit and provide support of almost operatic intensity.
-
The Young Folks
Night Moves remains the best studio LP of Seger’s career, a tribute to the music of his youth that is musically diverse and thoughtful about his sentimentalizing. Forty years later, it’s still a strong example of how to pay tribute to the music you love without the air of superiority.
