Reception

Both The Guardian and AllMusic gave the album four stars.[2][3] In The Guardian, critic John Fordham sees the influence of Bill Evans and Keith Jarrett and praises the album's intimacy.[2] At AllMusic, Rick Anderson calls it "ECM jazz" after ECM Records and the melancholy and spaciousness which are characteristic of many albums in the label's catalogue.[3]

Cormac Larkin of The Irish Times gave the album five stars, stating it was even better than Johnson and Elias's last collaboration, and crediting Elias in particular for "really lift[ing] Swept Away to another level."[6]
