Critical reception[]
Reviewing a 1991 reissue of Texas Cannonball, The Commercial Appeal called the album "a masterpiece," writing that it is "full of dashing solos and some of [King's] finest vocals since his heyday in the late '50s and early '60s."[7] In 2007, the Houston Chronicle listed it among the 75 essential Texas blues albums.[8]
