Captain & Tennille's smash hit was named the top-selling song of the year. Down the line, the track was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for moving over 2.5 million units in the U.S. alone.

Thirty years after the track topped the charts, it was featured in the 2005 romantic comedy jukebox musical Breaking Up Is Hard to Do. The single was used during the first act of the show, acting as a turning point in the story and providing a sharp contrast to the musical's early heartbreak.
Over five decades after its release, "Love Will Keep Us Together" remains a mainstream '70s staple. On Spotify alone, the track has accumulated over 130 million streams, proving that the duo's signature feel-good sound continues to resonate with modern listeners.
