Its first appearance on the magazine's Easy Listening chart came in the March 16 issue, and the song managed two of its 13 weeks on that list at number one. On the RPM singles chart it reached number 10. "You and Me Against the World" was released as a single on May 27 of that year In the liner notes for the 2006 compilation The Woman I Am: The Definitive Collection Reddy writes of this song that it is her "second-most-requested song after 'I Am Woman'. I still receive mail from people who have lost a parent or child telling me that this was 'their song'. These letters always touch me." ==Track listing==
