    An album that as a whole sounds like a collage depicting a comprehensive list of everyone who's anyone from the past 40 years of popular music.
  2. Q Magazine

    A roaring cosmic-rock romp, equal parts Muse-esque space station stomps and jitterbug Krautrock rhythmics. [Dec. 2011 p. 137]

    A fluorescent, gently psychedelic record with a fat vein of Eighties pop running through it.
  5. AllMusic

    60
    A cohesive but slightly repetitive affair, Ecstatics International occasionally matches the euphoria of its obvious influences, but it's perhaps a little too aimless to propel Swimming into the big league.

    Ecstatics proves to be only half the album it thought itself capable of being.
