Upon its release, "Stand Up for Love" received negative reviews from music critics who criticized its composition and inclusion on the compilation album. The song became Destiny's Child's first single to fail to chart in the United States or any other music chart. A music video was directed by Matthew Rolston featuring the trio singing the song, both individually and together. "Stand Up for Love" was performed live by Destiny's Child in November 2005 at the "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" show and on World Children's Day at Ronald McDonald House in Los Angeles. Several South Korean groups and singers covered the song.
