The original soundtrack to the film Summer Stock was released by MGM Records as a set of four 10-inch 78-rpm shellac records and as a 10-inch 33-rpm long-play. The soundrack featured songs performed by Judy Garland, Gene Kelly, Phil Silvers and Gloria DeHaven.

Billboard reviewed the album in its issue from 30 September 1950, giving it 86 points out of 100 (which indicated an "excellent" rating) and writing: "The new MGM flick shows early symptoms of a hit; this sound track album figures to do equally as well. Judy Garland and Gene Kelly sell their numbers with their usual show-wise sense of timing and projection. Phil Silvers joins Kelly on a pair of duets, 'Dig' and 'Heavenly', displaying his affable, friendly comic style. Gloria Haven gets a side in 'Mem'ry Island', a ballad. Best of the score's new tunes are the ballads, 'You' and 'Star', in that order."
