Of course.

Snapshots are read only, so no need for a reservation.
Clones can be given reservations.

NB, there are two kinds of reservations:
        reservations  work on the dataset size
        refreservations work on the dataset and snapshots sizes
the two differ in the accounting of snapshots.

For more information, see the "Setting ZFS Quotas and Reservations" in the
ZFS Administration Guide.
