Reception

Allmusic gave Sinatra & Company a score of three and a half out of five stars. In comparison to the charts of Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobin, Sinatra & Company's "charts are looser and more relaxed; consequently, the music is lighter, more immediate, and arguably more fun." About the arrangements of the album, the "second half of Sinatra & Company ranks as some of his best soft rock-influenced material of the late '60s."

Mojo magazine gave the album a low score of two out of five stars.

Sinatra & Company peaked at #73 on the Billboard 200 charts of 1971.
