In his review for AllMusic, Michael G. Nastos states "Swell and his quintet dubbed 'Slammin' the Infinite' do indeed push the envelope, play arresting free-based music, and decompose standard jazz nomenclature while also paying tribute to the pioneering heroes of the genre." [2]
The Penguin Guide to Jazz says "'Three large slabs the sound give the disc an undifferentiated feel, though the closing threnody for Frank Lowe suddenly seems to acquire coherence." [3]
In a double review for All About Jazz, John Sharpe notes that "Less than perfect sound is the only drawback to an otherwise splendid disc... But the passion, power and high octane exuberance of this band nonetheless makes for required listening." [4]
