Move It! is the first album by the American electronic dance music solo project Reel 2 Real which had seven top 10 hits on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart in the 1990s.

Critical reception

AllMusic said, "Heard in clubs all over the world and still one of the most frequently licensed compilation tracks, Reel 2 Reel's "I Like to Move It," still sounds as hot today as it did when it first came out in 1993. The pulsing synths and sirens of the song made for an instant wall shaker. The mastermind of super DJ and remixer Erick Morillo, MOVE IT combines the textures of Latin house music with a reggae vibe. Morillo is one of the world's bussiest and most sought-after DJs and remixers. Some of MOVE IT's other standout tracks are "Raise Your Hands," "Can You Feel It?," and "Conway"."[3] Music & Media commented, "Scientists couldn't invent it, but these New Yorkers headed by the Mad Stuntman could: the pocket-size jukebox. It contains the hits I Like To Move It, Go On Move and Can You Feel It plus the future chart-busters, all made according the same "Euro-goes-ragga" concept, with The Stuntman's Anthem being the purest reggae effort of the lot. As such it's vaguely reminiscent of Double Trouble & The Rebel MC's 1989 hit Street Tough."[4]
