Night Moves is the ninth studio album by American rock singer-songwriter Bob Seger, released on October 22, 1976, by Capitol Records. It is his first studio album to credit his backing band, the Silver Bullet Band, although they only perform on five of the nine songs on the album; the other four feature backing by the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section.[1]

The album was well received by critics and brought Bob Seger nationwide success. Three singles were released from the album; two of them reached the top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album became Seger's second to receive a Gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and his first to receive a Platinum certification from the same organization.[2] It was later certified 6× Platinum.

Reception

Template:Music ratings Village Voice critic Robert Christgau wrote that the riffs on Night Moves were classic rock and roll riffs, like those performed by Chuck Berry or the Rolling Stones, and that the album was about rock and roll for those who were no longer in their teens, like the song "Rock and Roll Never Forgets".[3] The Rolling Stone review of the album by Kit Rachlis stated that the album was one of the best to come out of 1976–77, that Seger sounded like Rod Stewart and wrote lyrics like Bruce Springsteen, and that the album was classic rock and roll. The only criticism that Rachlis made of the album was the production not being strong enough.[4] A later review of the album by Stephen Thomas Erlewine for AllMusic said that the album was very similar to Beautiful Loser (1975), but that Night Moves was harder than Beautiful Loser. Erlewine also said that the album had a wide range of styles and had not lost any of its influence years later.[5]

Cash Box said that "'Ship of Fools' might turn into a classic rocker."[6]

Classic Rock History critic Janey Roberts ranked four songs from Night Moves among Seger's 20 greatest – the three singles as well as "Come to Poppa".[7]
