In a review of the album for music website AllMusic, Thom Jurek described Live from Austin, TX as "special", writing that "The bandmembers are so relaxed, open, and in the groove here that this stands out among their live recordings." He praised the performances of " Roly Poly", " Corrine, Corrina", "Blues for Dixie" and " Sugar Moon" as highlights of the collection, which he dubbed "a smoking program of rocking, strolling Western swing tunes".
