Rolling Stone ranked "Keep A-Knockin'" at number 442 in its list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time!" Little Richard's version of the song has made numerous appearances in popular culture. It is featured in the Full House episode "Too Little Richard Too Late", performed by Little Richard himself. A version was also recorded for the opening theme of the NBC TV series Friday Night Videos. Film appearances include Up in Smoke, Christine, and the theatrical trailer for Home Alone. A version of the song recorded by Louis Jordan was featured in the 2015 videogame Fallout 4.
