Chart Performance
"You Pick Me Up ..." reached the top 15 on the country charts, peaking at No. 12 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart and No. 10 on the Cashbox chart. As West's success had declined during the mid-1970s, the song completed her comeback as a solo artist. She had a series of successful duets with Kenny Rogers in 1978 and 1979, but "You Pick Me Up ..." was her most successful solo entry since 1974's "Last Time I Saw Him".
"You Pick Me Up ..." marked the future countrypolitan-styled hits to come for West, including the follow-up, the No. 1 hit "A Lesson in Leavin'". Both songs were included on her 1980 album Special Delivery, which included two other singles.
"You Pick Me Up (And Put Me Down)" has been featured on West's most popular compilation albums, including her Greatest Hits album, released in 1992, after her death in a car accident a year before.

“The way to go to the circus, however, is with someone who has seen perhaps one theatrical performance before in his life and that in the High School hall.... The scales of sophistication are struck from your eyes and you see in the circus a gathering of men and women who are able to do things as a matter of course which you couldn’t do if your life depended on it.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
