The AllMusic review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine states, "Soul Stirrin' is an invigorating, exciting date from trombonist Bennie Green, showcasing his wide range of skills.... Each musician plays with soul and passion, both on the laidback blues and mambos and the rollicking swing numbers. It's a thoroughly enjoyable record and one that is a good introduction to Green's wonderful, friendly style."[6]
Marc Davis of All About Jazz wrote, "This is a bluesy, almost pre-bop record... Soul Stirrin' is an unexpected pleasure from a jazz man who is largely forgotten. Now that I've discovered Bennie Green, I want to hear more."[3]
Author Scott Yanow described the group as "particularly intriguing," and remarked, "All of the horns and Clark get in their solos, a wide variety of tempos are employed, and the overall result is one of the trombonist's strongest recordings."[1]
