Shoot the Moon is the fourth album to be recorded by English singer-songwriter Judie Tzuke. It was released in April 1982 and was Tzuke's first album for Chrysalis Records after leaving Elton John's label The Rocket Record Company, which released her first three albums. The album peaked at number 19 on the UK Album Chart. [1]

Contents

According to Charles Donovan of Popmatters , Shoot the Moon "elaborates on some of the musical and lyrical themes of her first three albums". [2] He called the introduction of "Heaven Can Wait" dreamlike and syncopated, and "Love on the Border" energetic, and said the sequencing of the album's first three tracks makes it "so gripping". [2] Donovan chose the "pithy observational song" "Liggers At Your Funeral" and the "understated ballad" "Late Again" as some of the album's highlights. [2]
