"...To Be Loved," a progressive pop-rock tour de force that showcases Moore's expressive vocals, enduring six-string abilities and razor-sharp songwriting skills. Moore has taken his artistry to a new level." St. Louis Post Dispatch

"With To Be Loved, Moore has turned his attention to melody and lyrics with gratifying results. His vocals have a Bowie-esque quality ("To Be Loved," "Literary Kind," "Walk on By"), as does his melodic pop-rock, which connect the disc the way Tom Waits' songs do, maybe not thematically but spiritually and cyclically." -Austin Chronicle
