Critical reception
Kerstin Kratochwill from laut.de described El Camino as "music that doesn’t hurt anyone – songs that wrap listeners up in a soft beach towel. Objecting to them would be like scolding a puppy for being cute. You can simply acknowledge the record with a smile or ignore it and go whistling on your way." She rated the album three out of five stars. Radio Herne noted that "Soler’s new album brims with personal moments and unexpected sounds from around the world."
Commercial performance In Germany, El Camino opened at number 18 on the German Albums Chart, while in Austria, it debuted at 28 on the Austrian Albums Chart. It marked Soler's first album to miss the top ten on both charts. In Switzerland, the album opened at number 62.
