Recordings įollowing is a partial list of recordings of the song by year. The 1988 Tato Laviera's 'Mainstream Ethics' poem uses most of the lyrics of En mi Viejo San Juan to depict the Puerto Rican 'revolving door' migration motif. The city of San Juan also passed a resolution making the author of the song (Estrada) an honorary citizen of the city. In 1971, during the mayoral administration of Carlos Romero Barcelo, the song was adopted as the official city anthem of the City of San Juan. The only other boleros to have achieved such popularity are 'Obsesión' and 'Perdón' (by Pedro Flores) y 'Piel canela' (by Bobby Capó) followed by 'Desvelo de amor' and 'Capullito de alelí' (by Rafael Hernández Marín). At least over 1,000 distinct recordings of the song have been made worldwide.

The first known interpretation in French was by the vedette Lolita Cuevas. 'En mi Viejo San Juan' has been recorded by American, Russian, German, French, Japanese orchestras, among others. The song is heard in over 50 Mexican and over 20 Puerto Rican motion pictures, including 'Romance en Puerto Rico' (1961) and Antonio Aguilar's 'Mi aventura en Puerto Rico' (1975).

'There are versions in all musical genres, including instrumental, acústico, tango, bolero, ranchera, and even a disco version by Oscar Solo'.

The song has also been recorded in at least three other languages in addition to its original Spanish version: English, German, and French. It was presented during the first concert to ever be recorded on the Castillo de San Cristóbal. In 2012, American pianist Arthur Hanlon performed a live cover of the song where he was accompanied by Marc Anthony for Hanlon's album Encanto del Caribe (2012). His version peaked at number 23 on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs and number eight on the Regional Mexican Airplay charts in the United States. In 1999, Mexican singer-songwriter Marco Antonio Solís performed a live cover of the song during his concert in the Centro de Bellas Artes which was included on his live album En Vivo (2000).

Originally interpreted by El Trío Vegabajeño, the song would later be interpreted by artists like Luis Miguel, Javier Solis, Vikki Carr, Danny Rivera, Marco Antonio Muñiz, Trío Los Panchos, Rafael Cortijo, Ismael Rivera, Celia Cruz, and Rocío Dúrcal, plus 'hundreds of other voices including Libertad Lamarque, Marco Antonio Muñiz, Ginamaría Hidalgo, and Felipe Pirela. 'En mi Viejo San Juan' is considered a classic and has been performed by numerous artists. By all measures, nevertheless, the song is a reflection of Estrada's 'intimate' love connection with his motherland. In more general terms, and despite its original military motivation and origins, the song reflects the sentiments of not just Puerto Ricans stationaed abroad as servicemen as was Estrada's brother Eloy Jr., but those of the entire DiaspoRican community as well. In this context, the song was put in juxtaposition with Anglo songs including America from West Side Story and America by Neil Diamond. Together with La Borinqueña and Preciosa, 'En mi Viejo San Juan' is considered a national anthem by many Puerto Ricans, especially those who live far away from their Caribbean homeland, Puerto Rico.
