"Real Friends" served as the only official promotional single for the album due to "I Have Questions" and "OMG" being scrapped from the final standard track listing.

"In the Dark" was written by the singer, Te Whiti Warbrick, Simon Wilcox, Madison Love, James Abrahart and its producer Frank Dukes. Commercially, it debuted in Ireland and Portugal, peaking at 100 and 89, respectively. Moreover, in Brazil, "In the Dark" received a gold certification for 20,000 copies sold in the country.{{Cite web |title=CERTIFICADOS – Pro-Música Brasil |url=https://pro-musicabr.org.br/home/certificados/?busca_artista=Camila+Cabello&busca_tipo_produto=SINGLE |access-date=2022-03-03 |website=pro-musicabr.org.br}} Cabello revealed, "I wrote “In the Dark” after a Grammy party last year (2017)... so basically the song was kinda like me making an observation on the outside looking in about somebody that I met. It was like a famous guy and I was just noticing how a lot of the time it's this facade. People that are celebrities, they kinda can't turn it off, like it's always a performance, it's this mirage. I was just kinda like I don't really wanna fall in love with a name or just because you're famous. I wanna get to know the real person, the human stuff, the twisted stuff... that's what makes people interesting. I was just kinda like perfection is boring, so that's basically what that song is about, me wanting to know the real person, not the famous person."{{Cite web |date=2018-01-18 |title=Camila Cabello Reveals 'In The Dark' Meaning {{!}} TigerBeat |url=https://tigerbeat.com/2018/01/camila-in-the-dark-meaning/ |access-date=2022-03-03 |website=tigerbeat.com |language=en-US}}{{Citation |title=Camila Cabello: Debut Album 'CAMILA' Interview {{!}} Apple Music | date=January 17, 2018 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t69tNWW9a58 |language=en |access-date=2022-03-03}}

In an album review done by NME, the track was considered to be the worst on the album, "Cabello only fails to pull off ‘In The Dark’, a bland hybrid of recent Kesha and Lana Del Rey hits. But it's not enough to spoil a strong and surprisingly confident first impression."

Camila was met with generally positive reviews. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100, the album received an average score of 78 based on 12 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews". Several British publications that reviewed the album a few days before its official release, responded positively to the album as well as Cabello's vocals and songwriting. Kate Solomon from Metro UK perceived the singer's "shaken off the bombastic R&B favored by the 5H crew in favor of a short, sweet album of fairly understated Latin pop and classic pop ballads."{{cite web|url=https://www.metro.news/camila-stamps-her-heart-all-over-this-seductive-debut/888210/|title=Camila stamps her heart all over this seductive debut|work=Metro UK|first=Kate|last=Solomon|date=January 8, 2018|access-date=January 11, 2018}} The Times{{'}} Will Hodgkinson also pointed out that instead of filled with "high-octave pop bangers", the singer has gone the other way, using sparse production techniques to frame songs about love and longing.{{cite web|url=https://www.thetimes.com/culture/music/article/pop-review-camila-cabello-camila-9l5qdbzfl|title=Pop Review: Camila Cabello – 'Camila'|work=The Times|first=Will|last=Hodkinson|date=January 5, 2018|access-date=January 11, 2018}} Nick Levine of the NME deemed the album a "strong and surprisingly confident first impression."{{cite web|url=http://www.nme.com/reviews/album/camila-cabello-camila-review|title=Camila Cabello – 'Camila' Review|work=NME|first=Nick|last=Levine|date=January 8, 2018|access-date=January 11, 2018}} For The Guardian{{'}}s editor Alexis Petridis, Camila is one of those moments where "the committee approach strikes gold: smart enough to avoid smoothing out the quirks and slavishly chasing trends," he also considered it as "a product of the pop factory that doesn't sound run-of-the-mill." Leah Greenblatt from Entertainment Weekly was as positive as Levine and Petridis, giving the album an A she felt it as an "intimate project" where Cabello's voice shines over Latin-influenced songs and powerful ballads. She further commented: "Cabello's voice isn't especially distinctive, but it's instinctually pretty: effortless and warm, with an edge of morning-after rasp."{{cite magazine|url=http://ew.com/music/2018/01/10/camila-cabello-debut-album-ew-review/|title=Camila Cabello is defiantly her own pop star on debut album: EW review|magazine=Entertainment Weekly|first=Leah|last=Greenblatt|date=January 10, 2018|access-date=January 11, 2018}}

Patrick Ryan of USA Today complimented the music which the album was built on, labeling it a "vibrant blend of sounds and styles, bolstered by a reliable stable of hit songwriters and producers." Although he also felt that Cabello's over-reliance on AutoTune is "unnecessary" given the strength of her TV and acoustic performances.{{cite web|url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/music/reviews/2018/01/10/review-camila-confidently-looks-beyond-havana-solo-debut-album/1020272001/|title=Review: 'Camila' confidently looks beyond 'Havana' on solo debut album|work=USA Today|first=Patrick|last=Ryan|date=January 11, 2018|access-date=January 11, 2018}} Sam Lansky of Time magazine stated Cabello proves she has the "chops to stand alone in the spotlight." As did Lansky, Newsday writer Glenn Gamboa believed that with Camila, she proves that she is a forced to be "reckoned with and ready to be one of 2018's breakout stars."{{cite magazine|url=https://time.com/5098882/camila-cabello-album-review/|title=Camila Cabello Shines in Her Solo Act on Camila|magazine=Time|first=Sam|last=Lansky|author-link=Sam Lansky|date=January 11, 2018|access-date=January 12, 2018}}{{cite web|url=https://www.newsday.com/entertainment/music/camila-cabello-review-1.16051715|title='Camila' review: Camila Cabello's powerful solo debut|work=Newsday|first=Glenn|last=Gamboa|date=January 11, 2018|access-date=January 12, 2018|archive-date=January 13, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180113150248/https://www.newsday.com/entertainment/music/camila-cabello-review-1.16051715|url-status=dead}} Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone and Matt Collar from AllMusic gave Camila three and a half stars out of a possible five. Sheffield and Collar expressed a similar sentiment: Camila is a personal statement, a "produced set of romantic pop, punctuated by several rhythmically infectious Latin-influenced tracks informed by her Cuban-Mexican heritage."

Mike Nied from Idolator found the album an "authentic and cohesive work", and acclaimed the singer's performance for "blending her distinctive brand of folksy pop with a Latin flair" and "delivering an impressive body of work."{{cite web|url=https://www.idolator.com/7673573/camila-cabello-camila-album-review|title=Camila Cabello's 'Camila:' Album Review|publisher=Idolator|first=Mike|last=Nied|date=January 12, 2018|access-date=January 12, 2018}}{{Dead link|date=September 2024 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} Similar to other critics, Taylor Weatherby of Billboard noted its "radio-friendly" tracks, but also highlighted the most personal songs, saying "something that should certainly be recognized is Cabello's relentless vulnerability as she sings about the woes of both romantic and friendly relationships." Concluding his review, he opined: "As a girl who got her start as one of five, Cabello has vocally, lyrically and impressively established that she was always meant to be simply Camila."{{cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop/8093971/camila-cabello-camila-album-review|title=Album of the Week: Camila Cabello's 'Camila'|magazine=Billboard|first=Taylor|last=Weatherby|date=January 11, 2018|access-date=January 12, 2018}} In his article for the website Stereogum, Chris DeVille was positive, noting the tracks range from the most "Latin-tinged club tracks" like "Havana" and "She Loves Control" to "wistful" piano ballads like "Consequences" and "Something's Gotta Give".{{cite web|url=https://www.stereogum.com/1977612/welcome-to-superstardom-camila-cabello/franchises/the-week-in-pop/?amp=1|title=Welcome To Superstardom, Camila Cabello|work=Stereogum|first=Chris|last=DeVille|date=January 11, 2018|access-date=January 12, 2018}} In a mixed review for The Observer, Kitty Empire noted the album's "processed sound" "achieves cohesion, despite the many production hands on deck." She further added, "the raunchy come-hithers you assume have been dropped in late in the day can be as boring and samey as piano ballads. But here, Cabello acquitted herself well as an R&B vixen." Neil McCormick of The Daily Telegraph commented, "a few songs convey a charming honesty and vulnerability, perhaps a relic of the album's original themes." However, he argued, "there remains a gulf between the craft of commercial pop and the artistry of confessional songwriting, and there is not much doubt about which has been prioritized on Camila."

Camila debuted at number 2 on the UK Albums Chart, behind The Greatest Showman soundtrack with first week sales of 21,561 units. Cabello previously reached the number 6 position with her former girl group Fifth Harmony.{{Cite news |url=http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/the-greatest-showman-denies-camila-cabello-this-weeks-number-1-album__21516/ |title=The Greatest Showman denies Camila Cabello this week's Number 1 album |last=White |first=Jack |date=January 19, 2018 |publisher=Official Charts Company |access-date=January 19, 2018}} In its second week the album fell to number 6 in the UK.{{cite web|url=http://www.officialcharts.com/charts/albums-chart/|title=Official Albums Chart Top 100 - Official Charts Company|publisher=Official Charts Company|access-date=January 28, 2018}}

She also was the third female artist to have her first single and her first album at the top of both charts, the first being Britney Spears in 1999 with her single "...Baby One More Time" and her debut album of the same name and Beyoncé in 2003 with her single "Crazy In Love" and her debut album "Dangerously In Love".{{cite magazine|last1=Zellner|first1=Xander|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/8095905/camila-cabello-hot-100-billboard-200-artist-camila-album-havana-number-one-adele|title=Camila Cabello Is First Woman Since Adele to Triple Up Atop Hot 100, Billboard 200 & Artist 100 Charts|magazine=Billboard|date=January 24, 2018|access-date=January 28, 2018}} In its second week, Camila dropped from 1 to 4 with 43,000 units sold;{{cite magazine |last1=Caulfield |first1=Keith |title=Fall Out Boy Earns Fourth No. 1 Album on Billboard 200 Chart With 'Mania' |url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/8096629/fall-out-boy-earns-fourth-no-1-album-on-billboard-200-album-chart-with |magazine=Billboard |date=January 28, 2018}} and in the third week, to number 7 with 37,000 units.{{cite magazine |last1=Caulfield |first1=Keith |title=Migos' 'Culture II' Debuts at No. 1 on Billboard 200 Albums Chart |url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/8097981/migos-culture-ii-debuts-at-no-1-on-billboard-200-albums-chart |magazine=Billboard |date=January 26, 2018}}
