Mark Deming of AllMusic writes "On Terms of My Surrender, Hiatt has the blues, and he's got the goods, and this is another solid chapter in a recording career that's drifted into an unexpected but pleasing renaissance."[20] Craig of Louder Than War says the album is "probably his bluesiest effort since 2001’s Crossing Muddy Waters and it has the hard task of following one his best albums Mystic Pinball."[3] Stuart Henderson of Exclaim! wrote "Terms of My Surrender is a mellow, late-night acoustic album, full of salt, gravel, whiskey and ache, but always there is this good humour, this personable rascal singing his blues for whoever's there to hear. A truly welcome return to form from a real master."[21] Lexington Herald-Leader's Walter Tunis wrote "Ever since Bring the Family redefined his career more than 25 years ago, Hiatt has sounded remarkably comfortable in the well-worn skin he calls home. The stories on Terms of My Surrender aren't autobiographical, but they are told with enough crusty, curmudgeonly zeal to make Hiatt the master of all the bliss and wreckage before him."[22]
