"The dry, Thomas Dolby-less production came as a bit of a shock at the time but Swoon stands up pretty well today. Though some critics have compared the album to Steely Dan, my contemporary reference points would be Lloyd Cole, The Smiths, Aztec Camera and Songs To Remember-era Scritti, though it’s basically impossible to locate Prefab’s influences." (MovingTheRiver)
"Swoon urges its listeners through successive sketches of subjection to ultimately arrive not at revelation, but at an immeasurable void." (Sputnik Music)
