Critical reception
Reviewing a 1991 reissue of Texas Cannonball, The Commercial Appeal called the album "a masterpiece" and said that it is "full of dashing solos and some of [King's] finest vocals since his heyday in the late '50s and early '60s." In 2007, the Houston Chronicle listed it among the 75 essential Texas blues albums.
AllMusic critic Richie Unterberger wrote that the album was "similar to his first Shelter outing (Getting Ready), but with more of a rock feel."
