Critical reception
PopMatters wrote; "This is a journey, profoundly personal and at the same time rooted in the world, seeking purpose within it, and for this it is moving as well as aurally rapturous." Jazzwise chose Manifeste as one of their best new jazz albums in April 2026, writing "few have the courage – and sheer headspace – to build such cathedrals of sound as Tigran Hamasyan." PostGenre writes "Manifeste is transportive in a highly unusual way. While drawing upon several distinct genres and reference points, in totality, the project provides as unique a sound as you’ll ever hear."
