In his review for AllMusic, Charie Wilmoth states "Maneri and Morris had developed utterly distinctive instrumental voices: Their senses of phrasing and harmony were, and are, uniquely theirs."[2]
The Penguin Guide to Jazz notes that "The two stringed instruments frequently exchange roles, with Maneri producing big chords and Morris teasing out single-note lines at great speed."[3]
The All About Jazz review by Glenn Astarita states "The musicians engage a very special musical language that is characterized by their remarkable intuition, distinctive craftsmanship and cultivated improvisational speak."[4]
In his review for JazzTimes Duck Baker states "There are breath-taking moments on Soul Search when the two players find their way into a little musical world that seems utterly undiscovered, and these sublime successes seem to lift the level of the music throughout."[5]
