A deluxe edition contains a bonus disc featuring versions of the songs with just Streisand's vocals and Krall's quartet.

[10] To promote the album, Streisand performed for one night only on September 26 at the Village Vanguard some forty-eight years after she opened for Miles Davis at the same venue.

[11] On October 2 she also gave a rare interview and performed live for a BBC TV special hosted by Jonathan Ross.

The news shocked the music industry, and found Streisand extending her previously held record of most consecutive decades with #1 albums achieved by any artist.

Conscious of the good news (and the unparalleled record achieved), Streisand immediately posted a "letter" on her official website:I was just told that Love Is the Answer came out at Number One, and I want to share that honor with all of you.. my fans, my friends.. who have made that possible.

I want to share it as well with Diana Krall and Tommy LiPuma and everyone who worked on the album... with Jay Landers and especially my manager Marty Erlichman and my team at Columbia Records.

[17]Achieving the top position in both countries, Love Is the Answer is only the fourth Barbra Streisand record to be #1 in both the U.S. and the UK, and the first to do so since 1980's Guilty.
