Quote:
“The song received mostly positive reviews from music critics. Punknews.org referred to the track as an "excellent song" and "The perfect predecessor as their last single 'Dirty Little Secret'",while About.com reviewed 'Move Along' as "another slice of catchy pop-rock this time attached to an uplifting, encouraging message. There is little lyrical depth here, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. The All-American Rejects will win no awards for innovation with this single. However, for energetic pop-rock radio fare, 'Move Along' nicely fills the bill".
Contactmusic.com were negative towards the song, saying "'Move Along' unfortunately lacks any originality, it sounds like so many other songs released in the past five years or so. They are a poor man's Green Day - even after listening to the song a few times, it still sounds the same; it doesn't seem to get any better", while Entertainment Weekly commented "The title track launches the band beyond frivolous puppy-love-powered pop. The grinding guitars, pulsing drums, and arena-ready rawk refrain turn 'Move Along' into an anthemic gem that, while seemingly still about girls, is truly something special."
