Moving is the second album by the American folk music trio Peter, Paul & Mary, released in January 1963. The third single included in the album, "Puff, the Magic Dragon," was a huge hit and a defining song for the trio, reaching No. 2 on the Hot 100, No. 1 on the Easy Listening, and No. 10 on the R&B Charts.
The album received a positive critical reception upon its release. The initial Cashbox review said that "the trio's distinctive, urban, dramatic sound is aptly showcased in a fine dozen of familiar and little known tunes." Jimmy Watson on behalf of New Record Mirror stated that "I have a feeling in my bones that this trio could click here, given the right record. Their sound is very intimate and decidedly entertaining," and called it a "fine collection" as well.
The retrospective review by Bruce Eder on AllMusic believed that the trio's second album is "a little less distinctive than its predecessor, which doesn't mean that it isn't a beautiful record â just less obviously compelling in its melodies, and perhaps slightly less optimistic in mood."
The lead-off single, "Big Boat", failed to chart substantially, only staying on the Billboard Hot 100 two weeks, reaching No. 93. Cash Box described it as "an exciting, fast moving folk opus." The second single, "Settle Down (Goin' Down That Highway)," did slightly better, peaking at No. 56 on the Pop charts during a six-week run; however, it did become an easy listening hit at No. 14.
The album debuted on Billboard magazine's Top LP's chart in the issue dated January 19, 1963, peaking at No. 2 during a ninety-nine-week run on the chart. It debuted on Cashbox magazine's Top 100 Albums chart in the issue dated January, 1963, peaking at No. 1 during a seventy-six-week run on the chart.
