The song also became Wonder's second single to top the adult contemporary chart, following 1973's "You Are the Sunshine of My Life", topping the chart for four weeks.[1] On the soul charts, "Send One Your Love" went to number five.[2]

Hip Hop/Reggae duo Born Jamericans sampled the song during the chorus that based on the song of the same name from their 1997 album, Yardcore their final studio album before disbanding.
