The song reached number 38 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number 33 on Cash Box in January 1983.[1] It also charted modestly in Australia. Written by Ken Hirsch and veteran lyricist Howard Greenfield, it provided a rare hit for Greenfield decades after his 1960s heyday, and one of the last before his death.
"Two Less Lonely People in the World" was a hit on adult contemporary radio in Canada and the United States, reaching number two in Canada,[2] and three weeks at number four in the US.[3]
Billboard said that "The group's sentimental sound is so distinctive that the new single is instantly familiar."[4]
