Céline Dion performed it five nights a week during her show "A New Day..." at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas, and lately during her 2008-09 Taking Chances Tour.

"To Love You More" became a smash hit in Japan, where it hit number 1 (for 5 weeks) and sold 1,238,970 copies. Céline Dion was the first international artist who reached number 1 on the Oricon Singles chart, since Irene Cara's "Flashdance... What a Feeling" in 1983. The song is still the second best-selling song by a international artist and the best-selling single by a international female artist in Japan. It is one of the only three international songs to sold more than 1 million, with "Beautiful Sunday/Sleepy Head" from Daniel Boone and "All I Want for Christmas Is You" from Mariah Carey.

In Canada, "To Love You More" peaked at number 4 on the Quebec Airplay chart and number 5 on the Canadian Adult Contemporary.

"To Love You More" was also very successful on American radio, although the edited version played by most U.S. radio stations omitted Kryzler & Company's violin bridge and also chopped out a sizeable chunk of the song's ending. It spent 8 weeks at number 1 on the Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks and reached number 11 on the Hot 100 Airplay.

The song was included on the "Taking Chances" Japanese CD single in 2007.

"To Love You More" was popularized by Sarah Geronimo in the Philippines and reached number 1 on the Filipino radio stations. CoCo Lee did a version that has appeared in karaoke videos.
