Comin' from Where I'm From achieved platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in early December 2004, having sold 1.2 million copies in the United States. The single "Charlene", Hamilton's most successful single to date, peaked at number nineteen on the Billboard Hot 100 and reached the top five of the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. The album earned Hamilton three Grammy Award nominations in 2004—Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance, Best R&B Song (both for the title track "Comin' from Where I'm From"), and Best Contemporary R&B Album—and one in 2005—Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for "Charlene". British DJ Ben Pearce sampled vocals from Hamilton's song, "Cornbread, Fish & Collard Greens" in his 2013 song, "What I Might Do".
