  1. 8.0 |   Uncut

    That these long-separated musicians were able to make a quintessential Cars LP now constitutes a small miracle. Print edition only

  2. 7.5 |   A.V. Club

    Move Like This turns sleekly on tightly strummed power-pop guitars, crunchy drum beats, splashy handclaps, and warmly buzzing keyboard lines

  3. 7.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    Move Like This isn’t the last we’ve seen of The Cars and that’s a very good thing – because this album gets you revved up and ready for more

  4. 7.0 |   Rolling Stone

    Long after we thought we'd heard the last from them, the Cars have made their darkest, most romantic album

  5. 6.0 |   PopMatters

    Isn’t a failure by any means. It’s not the resounding triumph you might have hoped for, either

  6. 6.0 |   Q

    Print edition only

  7. 6.0 |   No Ripcord

    Doesn’t quite deliver any moments of pure pop perfection the way they used to

  9. 6.0 |   Evening Standard

    Move Like This is by no means a bad album... but only in the company of friends who still think it's the old days

  10. 5.0 |   Spin

    Compared to the band's clever early hits, the songwriting too often lapses into clunkiness

  11. 4.0 |   Mojo

    The absence of the late Cars bassist Benjamin Orr looms large here. Print edition only
