Cash Box described it as "a tearful, oh so smooth ballad."

David Crosby of The Byrds and Crosby, Stills & Nash (and Young) admitted to being an admirer of the song, quoting In My Room' was the defining point for me. When I heard it, I thought 'I give up—I can't do that—I'll never be able to do that. He recorded it as a trio with Jimmy Webb and Carly Simon on "An All Star Tribute to Brian Wilson (2001)." A remake by Gary Usher's own band, Sagittarius, peaked at #86 in 1969. Wilson Phillips included their version of the song as the closing track to their 2004 studio album California. This version includes vocals by Brian Wilson, the father of group members Carnie and Wendy Wilson.

Tammy Wynette's last recording was "In My Room". It was featured as the last track on the album Tammy Wynette Remembered released in September 1998 on Asylum Records. Jacob Collier's cover of "In My Room" was the title track to his debut album released in 2016. Brian Wilson performed a solo piano version of this, his own song, on his album "At My Piano" (2021).
