The Penguin Guide to Jazz[4]
AllMusic[5]

The Penguin Guide to Jazz states "There are signs on One Fell Swoop that he is looking back and rerunning some ideas from his own bottom drawer, reviving that Dixieland counterpoint which had tended to get unravelled and spun out at unrecognisable length in more recent years. The title track (two performances) and "Ode to Lady Day" are splendid performances"[4] In his review on AllMusic, Scott Yanow states "The inside/outside music rewards repeated listenings, and the Lacy/Tyler match-up, helped by their contrasting but complementary styles, works quite well".[5]

Personnel
gollark: Something something conflict theory versus mistake theory politics? Conflict theory is that you're fighting an enemy who wants fundamentally different things and must be stopped.
gollark: This is not in fact possible.
gollark: People generally think they're better than average.
gollark: People are wrong about lots of things. For instance, nuclear power and thing #2. If I am elected supreme eternal world dictator, I will fix things by ignoring them.
gollark: I'm right and the majority of opinions are wrong, personally.
