Critic's Review
Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
One of the lesser-known sets by the classic jazz vocal group Lambert, Hendricks and Ross, Swingers! holds its own with their more famous recordings. Assisted by tenor saxophonist Zoot Sims, pianist Russ Freeman, and guitarist Jim Hall among others, Dave Lambert, Jon Hendricks and Annie Ross are at their best on such numbers as "Airegin," "Jackie" (a feature for Ross), "Swingin' 'Til the Girls Come Home," "Four" and "Now's the Time." This album is recommended to fans of this unique and influential vocal trio. [The 2002 Japanese reissue adds three bonus tracks.]
