A motion picture soundtrack album with music produced by Kevin Killen and Paul Bushnell was released on 13 August 1991, by MCA Records.[29] The soundtrack features fourteen songs, most of which appeared in various scenes in the film. Niamh Kavanagh performed as both a lead and backing vocalist in songs such as "Destination Anywhere" and "Do Right Woman, Do Right Man".[29] The soundtrack album was a commercial success, reaching the number one position of the New Zealand Albums Chart.[30] It also reached number one on the Australian Album Chart, and was certified 5x platinum.[31] The Commitments was present for a total of 76 weeks on the Billboard 200, and peaked at number 8 .[32] AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine called the album "a bit generic",[33] while Robert Christgau called it "a cross between The Big Chill and The Blues Brothers" with performers who "sacrifice idiosyncrasy for competence".[34]

After the commercial success of the first soundtrack album, a follow-up entitled The Commitments, Vol. 2: Music From The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack was released on 17 March 1992. The album included four more songs from the film, as well as seven additional songs performed by the cast.[35] The soundtrack proved less successful than the previous release, peaking at number 118 on the Billboard 200 chart.[36] The second volume also reached number six on the Australian Album Chart, and was certified gold.[31]

Billy Altman, writing for Entertainment Weekly awarded the album a "B", praising the performers for "sounding more mature and together on their seven newly recorded cover versions here than on four left over from the film".[37] Erlewine, in his review for AllMusic awarded the album three stars out of five and described it as being "plain and forgettable".[38] According to The Daily Telegraph, the soundtrack has sold 12 million copies worldwide.[19]
