***Move on Over*** is an album by saxophonist [Sonny Stitt](/source/Sonny_Stitt) recorded in 1963 and released on the [Argo](/source/Argo_Records) label.[2]

## Reception

The [Allmusic](/source/Allmusic) site awarded the album 3½ stars calling the album "a gritty, kinetic session fueled by the lively give and take of its principles... All four participants seem to operate on pure instinct, translating the energy of the live setting into the sterile confines of the recording studio, and the music is all the better for it".[1]
