Allmusic [3]

Allmusic awarded the album 3 stars stating "Heart & Soul is certainly not a loose "blowing session"; it's clear that the duo's repertoire had carefully developed during a year of gigging together in Manhattan. At the same time, the music never feels overarranged and stiff; there is always room for spontaneity... Recommended".[3]
