All Music Guide - Ken Dryden
Groove Factor are a European jazz quartet focusing on jazz-funk, soul-jazz, and a little R&B, mixing a few originals along with covers. With Pierre Swärd on Hammond B-3 (and occasional vocals), guitarist Ulf Wakenius, alto saxophonist Håkan Broström, and drummer Jonas Johansen, the group opens with Swärd's greasy "Organ Funk."

Wakenius' solo performance of Stevie Wonder's "Too High" is worth the purchase price of the CD, while the guitarist's composition "New York on My Mind" is a high-octane blues.

But a few misfires hardly keep Filthy McNasty from being a worthwhile investment.
