    Make It Be is more than a pleasant diversion or an oddball one-off: It's the work of two artists of great worth firing on all cylinders. Fans of both Moore and Falkner should be thrilled by the results.

    A must for fans of either protagonist, plus devotees of classic Todd Rundgren and Ween. [May 2017, p.94]

    Falkner's presence helps tighten up Moore's game with out diluting his essential weirdness, while Moore encourages the usually perfectionist Falkner to cut loose and re-engage with the taste for lo-fi leakage. [Mar 2017, p.50]

    Make It Be is a fine, fine record that deserves to be heard now and well into the distant future.

    Nicely balancing quirk and craft, Make It Be works so well one hopes this isn’t the only time this pair swings together.

    A certain tolerance for Moore’s loopier sound experiments and slam poetry skits may be required here, but for the most part this is an appealing mix of strangeness and sheen.

    d. If you’ve followed either Moore or Falkner, it’s certainly a curio. Everyone else--life is way too short.
