"rolling stone" wrote: "with this flawless album, willie nelson finally demonstrates why he has for so long been regarded as a country & western singer-songwriter's singer-songwriter ... at the age of 39, nelson finally seems destined for the stardom he deserves". robert christgau wrote: "this attempt to turn nelson into a star runs into trouble when it induces him to outshout memphis horns or western swing." "billboard" wrote: "this is willie nelson at his narrative best. he writes and sings with the love and the hurt and the down-to-earth things he feels, and he has a few peers." "texas monthly" praised nelson and wexler regarding the change in musical style:"they've switched his arrangements from ray price to ray charles—the result: a revitalized music. he's the same old willie, but veteran producer jerry wexler finally captured on wax the energy nelson projects in person". "school library journal" wrote: "willie nelson differs (from) rock artists framing their music with a country & western facade — in that he appears a honky-tonk stardust cowboy to the core. this album abounds in unabashed sentimentalism, nasal singing, lyrics preoccupied with booze, religion, and love gone bad, and stereotyped nashville instrumentation (twangy steel guitars, fiddles, and a clean rhythm section characterized by the minimal use of bass drum and cymbals, both of which gain heavy mileage with rock performers). stephen thomas erlewine wrote in his review for allmusic: "willie nelson offered his finest record to date for his debut – possibly his finest album ever. shotgun willie encapsulates willie's world view and music, finding him at a peak as a composer, interpreter, and performer. this is laid-back, deceptively complex music, equal parts country, rock attitude, jazz musicianship, and troubadour storytelling". nelson biographer joe nick patoski writes that "shotgun willie" was nelson's "creative declaration of independence."
