The five new recordings on the album are cover songs:

On 30 October 2007, before releasing the CD version of Love... the Album, EMI and the Cliff Richard Organisation decided that for 2 weeks, if there is a high enough demand for the digital download version of the album (which was 400 copies), then the price will drop from £7.99 to £3.99. For each album being downloaded, the price of the album drops by 1 pence.

During the two-week period, Richard said:

On 8 November 2007, it was announced that the £3.99 price tag for the album has been secured and that all people who have downloaded it during the two-week period would all pay £3.99 instead of the original price. All copies downloaded contributed to the first week of the UK Albums Chart.

Fans have been divided into whether this album was a studio or compilation album as 10 of the 15 tracks were previously released from Cliff Richard from other albums. On 5 December 2007, Cliff admitted on The Paul O'Grady Show that it was "unfair" to release the same music more than once.
