  1. In an era of bloated and overproduced albums, Moorer has delivered a small wonder with Getting Somewhere, and it ranks with her best music to date.
  2. For all of the music's surface catchiness, the writing is some of Moorer's deepest to date.
  3. A stunning shot of muscular, melodic rock.

    Moorer's understated voice doesn't always rise to the arrangements. [16 Jun 2006, p.77]
  5. While The Duel was notable for its forays into blues-rock, Getting Somewhere features several songs crafted in the mold of classic pop, the kind made by the Byrds, Tom Petty, and the Pretenders--heavy on melody and hooks.

    A set of punchy roots pop whose backbeat thumps as hard as her still-wounded heart. [Jul 2006, p.86]
  7. Uncut

    Her keenest yet. [Jul 2006, p.108]

    I became a fan of Allison's with " Miss Fortune". To me, this is her best work since that great record. My favorite track on the CD I became a fan of Allison's with " Miss Fortune". To me, this is her best work since that great record. My favorite track on the CD would have to be "Where You Are" - simply fantastic! Keep up the great writing Allison - you just keep getting better. Full Review »
