Although Sings of the Caribbean was less successful, only reaching number 17 on the chart, it nevertheless "consolidated the vogue for calypso". According to Cary Ginell of AllMusic, Belfatone Sings of the Caribbean, being the singer's second set of songs from the West Indies, "expanded the scope in both style as well as geography from the Calypso album", additionally noting the addition of orchestral arrangements.
