The album was remastered and expanded for inclusion in the 2015 released CD box set The RCA Victor & T-Neck Album Masters, 1959–1983. RecordingLike their previous recording, their breakthrough 1973 album, 3 + 3, the album was assisted by the team of Malcolm Cecil and Robert Margouleff. The album also continued their growing trademark of mixing funky dance songs mixed with softer soul ballads, which set the precedent for their landmark 1975 release, The Heat Is On. Critical reception{{Album ratings| rev1 =Allmusic | rev1Score = {{Rating|4|5}}[1] |rev2 = Christgau's Record Guide |rev2Score = B[2] |rev3 = Pitchfork |rev3Score = 8.8/10[3] }} The album spawned hit singles such as the title track, which topped at number eight on the US R&B charts, while another single, "Midnight Sky", was also a top ten R&B success, while both songs received some modest play on the pop and rock stations. The album's ballads including their slower rendition of Todd Rundgren's hit, "Hello It's Me", which was their only cover on the album, became popular alongside the folk rock influenced ballad, "Brown Eyed Girl". The album track, "Need a Little Taste of Love", was later covered by The Doobie Brothers, while their version of "Hello It's Me" was covered by neo soul duo Groove Theory and was partially interpolated in Whitney Houston's single, "One of Those Days". Another track, "Ain't I Been Good to You", would be sampled by UGK on the track "One Day". On the album charts, Live It Up peaked at number eight on the US pop albums chart and peaked at number-one on the R&B albums chart, instantly going gold selling half a million copies, making it their first number-one R&B album ever in their career.
