Morrison was elected fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London in 1995.[5] Morrison was awarded the Alice Davis Hitchcock Award by the Society of Architectural Historians of Great Britain in 2004 for English Shops and Shopping.[4] Jessica Sewell notes that “The volume serves as a model for what can be learned from careful, in-depth observation of material culture in the form of the built environment [...] it provides readers with the tools to recognize the period and use of English shops from almost any era".[6] Claire Walsh commented that the book is “...an impressive body of material, particularly the collection of illustrations which includes photographs of current retail outlets, of surviving shops and shop fronts from the medieval period onwards”.[7]

With John Minnis, co-author, Morrison has been awarded many prizes for the Carscapes book:

Writing in Architectural Heritage journal, Neil Gregory noted that Carscapes is "a lavishly presented account that aims to document building types more often than not overlooked in general architecture histories".[8]
