The album peaked at number 153 on the "Billboard" Top LPs album chart and reached number 15 on the UK Albums Chart. A preceding single, "Bad Night at the Whiskey" (b/w "Drug Store Truck Drivin' Man"), was released on January 7, 1969, but it failed to chart in the United States or in the United Kingdom. In addition, a non-album single featuring a cover of Bob Dylan's "Lay Lady Lay", which was recorded shortly after the release of "Dr. Byrds & Mr. Hyde" and also produced by Johnston, peaked at number 132 on the "Billboard" chart. "Dr. Byrds & Mr. Hyde" is the lowest charting album of the band's career in the United States, edging out the later "Farther Along" by one place.
