All About Jazz	[3]

On All About Jazz, Alberto Bazurro said "always with an impeccable sense (and consequent control) of the form, they generate compelling composite atmospheres ... Particularly striking is the sharpness that, even in the most shaggy situations, never leaves the two performers. That come to the end still with beautiful polish".[3] On Jazz Views Chris Baber wrote "It can be easy to forget the breadth of piano styles that Schweizer employs. There are, in her solos, whole histories of jazz piano, as well as sizable hints of folk-inspired Classical piano suites. But, above all, it is the lightening [sic] fast wit and imagination that she evolves completely defined pattern of kaleidoscopic notes that defines her playing and makes her contribution to the art of jazz piano so unique. What makes this is recording a classic in the improvised playing is the wonderful rapport that she strikes with Baron, whose playing is every bit as inventive and invigorating as Schweizer’s".[4]
