The Penguin Guide to Jazz[2]

In his review for AllMusic, Steve Loewy states " Swell's writing impresses immeasurably, as he has an ear to the moment so that the backgrounds constantly change and ebb to the machinations of the soloists."[1]

The Penguin Guide to Jazz notes that "Having Cooper-Moore in the group introduces the rarity of a piano into Swell's music and he plays in a neoclassic free-jazz style which actually works very well."[2]
