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.[1] Radio Herne noted that "Soler’s new album brims with personal moments and unexpected sounds from around the world."[2]

Commercial performance

In Germany, El Camino opened at number 18 on the German Albums Chart,[3] while in Austria, it debuted at 28 on the Austrian Albums Chart.[4] It marked Soler's first album to miss the top ten on both charts.[3][4] In Switzerland, the album opened at number 62. It was a considerable decline from his previous efforts, all of which had reached the top five of the Swiss Albums Chart.[5] El Camino failed to chart in Spain.[4]
