On All About Jazz, Dan McCleneghan observed "On Keep Searchin' Turre pays tribute to his own musical/life philosophy on a set of forward-looking original (mostly) compositions, performed with a group of stellar musicians ... Turre mixes up the sound with different mutes throughout, and adds, again, the hollow, peacefully haunting timbre of the conch shell on the closing title track. An excellent set by an ever-searching artist".McCleneghan, D.

In JazzTimes, David Whiteis stated "Turre and his bandmates take us on a journey that’s spiritually uplifting, to be sure, but also hard-swinging and, for the most part, ebulliently down-to-earth and joyful".Whiteis, D.
