Reception

The Allmusic review awarded the album 4½ stars stating "This is an extraordinary record, full of fire, reckless abandon, and thrilling playing from Russell, obviously, but also from his great band".[2] In JazzTimes Marc Masters wrote "the deliriously happy sound of The Finnish/Swiss Tour is equally worthy of reverent veneration and ecstatic celebration".[3]
