3 stars out of 5 -- "Morrissey's compilation demonstrates yet again the man's peculiarly quixotic muse.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "With his trademark mix of comedy, tragedy and self-pity still a match for anyone, SWORDS is a collection of buried B-sides dating back to 2004.", "The songs show the artist's continued creative stretch, from the staggered orchestral layers of 'The Never-Played Symphonies' to the ambient 'Sweetie-Pie'...", "The Mordant Humor and Camp Sensibility Never Wavers, Nor Does the Inimitable Voice.", 3 stars out of 5 -- "This, a collection of often preposterously-named B-sides from his past four albums, gets the thumps-up."
