$10 Cowboy received a score of 85 out of 100 on review aggregator Metacritic based on five critics' reviews, which the website categorized as "universal acclaim". [1] Rachel Rascoe of The Austin Chronicle called it "ruminative, less hooky, but still a recognizable play in the Austin-area singer's traditional and soul country mix" and felt that it "slots like an exploratory studio in-betweener among Crockett's comprehensive catalog". [5] Spin 's Stephen Deusner concluded that "rather than a throwback or a neo-neo-traditionalist, he just sounds like a guy singing his sad, sad songs to the huddled masses". [4]
Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic wrote that while Crockett's "approach" may be similar to its predecessor The Man from Waco (2022), the album "feels considerably different thanks to the troubadour swapping country for soul as the album's connective tissue". [2] Ben Salmon, reviewing the album for Paste , found that the album "sounds remarkably warm and alive and real; it feels like you can step on the bass lines, put the twinkling piano notes in your pocket or reach out and touch the pedal steel guitar parts". [3] Glide Magazine's Jim Hynes stated that the musicians recording live to tape "feels like a live performance" and Crockett "remains squarely in the front row of today's best writers". [6] John Amen of No Depression praised the album, writing, "Occurring as a cross between Hank Williams, a low-key carnival announcer, and the Coen brothers' Buster Scruggs, Crockett has perfected his craft: $10 Cowboy is a 2024 standout."
