Songs from St. Somewhere garnered generally mixed reception by music critics. At The Oakland Press, Gary Graff said that the album is not up to the same caliber of his previous album, nonetheless this is "a perfectly fine fix between boat drinks for any Parrothead worth his or her feathers."[5] Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic evoked that this is the perfect album for a listener who's drunk, which he said was "perfectly fine" for that occasion, but for those "listening to this sober, it's quite likely you'll be more inclined to cringe than to smile."[4] At Rolling Stone, Jon Dolan alluded to how this release "is full of chill evocations of island life."[6]
The album debuted at number 4 on the Billboard 200 chart, with first-week sales of 60,388 copies in the United States.[7]
