Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic gave El Concierto 4.5 out of 5 stars, praising the inclusion of the mariachi performances calling it a "good introduction to the singer, since it features his biggest hits and he gives a flashy, impassioned performance".[15] John Lannert of Billboard magazine called the album a "predictable, albeit fan-pleasing, double CD live set" and referred to his mariachi performances as "classics done up mariachi style".[16] Chito de la Torre wrote for La Prensa de San Antonio praised the album, stating that Miguel "stands among the few that are genuinely good both on disc and live" and complimented its "energetic feel and live audience reactions".[17] Rene Carbrera of the Corpus Christi Caller-Times said the album's productions "essentially takes listeners through one of Miguel's dynamic performances" and praised the bolero performances as "superbly executed as pop ballads by Miguel." Regarding the mariachi songs, Cabrera stated "If there's anything that stands out about the Jimenez creations, it is that the tunes are as indestructible as the emotions described in them. Add to that quality the musicianship that Miguel brings to bear and you have some excellent music."[18]The San Diego Union-Tribune editor Ernesto Portillo Jr. gave the album four out of four stars, complimenting Miguel's vocals, his pop tunes as "sizzling", and remarked that Miguel "shows his musical prowess with convincing mariachi-backed renditions of four ranchera classics written by the late Mexican singer-composer Jose Alfredo Jimenez".[19]
At the 1996 Eres award ceremony, El Concierto won award for Album of the Year and Miguel was the Artist of the Year.
