The Penguin Guide to Jazz[1]

The Penguin Guide to Jazz notes that: "Moons of Jupiter gets a tumultuous start with the overwhelmingly powerful 'For Henry Darger'. The rest of the record turns out as a free-bop date with flashes of brilliance."[1]

The JazzTimes review by John Murph states that "Swell boasts an intriguing set that keenly balances the hemispheres of the free and structured."[2]
