Review by Jason Ankeny:
Soul Searching spotlights Shirley Scott's accelerated development as a composer - originals like "Duck and Rock" and "Plunk Plunk Plunk" are solidly yet spaciously constructed, affording Scott's Hammond organ the room to vamp, flutter, and wail its way in and around the melodies. Longtime collaborators Wendell Marshall on bass and Arthur Edgehill on drums are typically effective in establishing the simple but lively rhythms that keep Scott's more self-indulgent impulses in check - each song is a model of energy and efficiency as tight as an outgrown pair of shoes. Still, taken as a whole Soul Searching wears thin - the austerity of the arrangements offers little variation from track to track, and after a while one wishes for additional elements in the mix, Scott's more soulful outings with husband/tenor saxophonist Stanley Turrentine.

Reseña de Jason Ankeny:
Soul Searching pone de relieve el desarrollo acelerado de Shirley Scott como compositora - originales como "Duck and Rock" y "Plunk Plunk Plunk Plunk" están sólidamente pero espaciosamente construidos, lo que permite al órgano Hammond de Scott tener el espacio para vampiresear, revolotear y lamentarse dentro y alrededor de las melodías. Los antiguos colaboradores Wendell Marshall en el bajo y Arthur Edgehill en la batería son típicamente efectivos para establecer los ritmos simples pero animados que mantienen a raya los impulsos más auto-indulgentes de Scott - cada canción es un modelo de energía y eficiencia tan apretado como un par de zapatos ya superados. Aún así, tomado como un todo, Soul Searching se agota - la austeridad de los arreglos ofrece poca variación de pista a pista, y después de un tiempo uno desea elementos adicionales en la mezcla, las salidas más conmovedoras de Scott con el saxofonista Stanley Turrentine, su esposo/tenor.
