[3] "How Deep Is Your Love" ranked number 375 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

In a British TV special shown in December 2011, it was voted The Nation's Favourite Bee Gees Song by ITV viewers.

[6]A demo was made at Le Château d'Hérouville in France, with the additional recording done at Criteria Studios when they got back to Miami.

The chords and everything stayed the same, the only thing that changes from that demo is that when we got to Criteria, I worked out the electric piano part which became the basis of the song.

[6]There was some talk of Yvonne Elliman recording "How Deep Is Your Love," but, according to Barry, their manager Robert Stigwood said, "You've got to do this song yourself, you should not give it to anybody".

[8] By the time Children of the World was recorded, it was pretty much established that Barry was now the primary vocalist of the group, mostly being falsetto leads with the occasional natural breathy voice.

[9] A second video (the main one) was later made in which features the brothers sing while passing by a stream of rainbow lights.

[6] Billboard described the song as "a warm tender ballad," saying that after a slow beginning it grows to a "heightened expressive delivery.

"[12] Record World said that it is "one of their most controlled, delicate efforts, with the vocals almost whispered at times" and that it has "a good melody and expressive love lyric.

Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys spoke positively of the song, stating, "I always liked the Bee Gees very much.

"[14] In 1983, the Bee Gees were sued by a Chicago songwriter, Ronald Selle, who claimed that the Gibb brothers stole melodic material from one of his songs, "Let It End", and used it in "How Deep Is Your Love".

The basis for the motion was that Selle had failed to show, as was required by the law, that the Bee Gees had prior access to his song.

Even Selle had admitted that he'd sent out his demo tape to only a few recording companies, none of whom did business with the Bee Gees.

English pop music group Take That released a cover version as a single from their Greatest Hits compilation in February 1996 by RCA Records.

In 2018, the band recorded an updated version of the song with Barry Gibb for their greatest hits remix album, Odyssey.

A reviewer from Music Week gave the song three out of five, adding, "This difficult-to-sing Bee Gees number lacks some oomph in this version, which is released as a preview for Take That's forthcoming greatest hits album.

"[57] Gina Morris from Smash Hits gave it a top score of five out of five and named it Best New Single, writing, "...this is a fitting reminder of the good old times.

Taken from their forthcoming Greatest Hits - Volume 1, it's a great choice of song — tampered with, but not totally destroyed.

"[58] The accompanying music video for "How Deep Is Your Love" was directed by English photographer Nick Brandt and shot on February 7 and 8 at a deserted warehouse and by a reservoir in Hayes, Middlesex.

[59] It was filmed six days before the band's break-up was announced and saw the remaining four Take That members tied to chairs in a basement.
