    Generally Moonfire is an album big on melody, heart and hooks.

    Moonfire is a perfectly nice album, one that would provide a suitable soundtrack to a warm, summer evening. However, if you're looking for something to captivate and engage you, then look elsewhere.

    Their rootsy rattle'n'roll fails to connect with anything more grabbing than a vague lyrical nostalgia.

    Boy & Bear sound more like a personality-free replica of a radio-friendly sub-genre of the folk tradition, and fall way short of convincing us that they're the real deal.

    There's plenty to enjoy.

    Their sound is instantly familiar - equal parts Fleet Foxes, Mumford & Sons and Coldplay - but executed with sufficient exuberance to avoid any staleness. [Feb. 2012, p.101]
