Reception
Allmusic claimed the album to be, "as it stands, an intriguing listen, but ultimately a failure." The fact that "A Man Alone was intended to be a serious statement, but much of it comes off as embarrassing posturing" left the album to be even more so of a failure. The overall score A Man Alone received was a two out of five.

A Man Alone peaked at #30 on the Billboard 200 charts of 1969. One of the singles of the album, "Love's Been Good to Me," peaked at #75 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts during 1969.
