Response
Although the critical response was generally favorable, the film could not overcome the disadvantages of its small budget and the lack of wide distribution caused by its release by a newly-formed independent company bucking a system dominated by the major studios. With no breakout songs in the not very memorable score, there was little chance of the film succeeding.
Something to Sing About was re-released in 1947 by Screencraft Pictures under the title Battling Hoofer.
