JT Griffith, All Music Guide
You Light Up My Life is typical 1970s orchestral cheese from Andre Kostelanetz & His Orchestra. The album's title comes from Debby Boone's Oscar-winning song from the film of the same name. The rest of the album is made up of orchestral versions of songs by Billy Joel, the Bee Gees, Stevie Wonder, Dan Hill ("Sometimes When We Touch"), the Beach Boys ("God Only Knows"), and the themes to Close Encounters of the Third Kind and Oh, God! (one of the few covers of it ever). "Oh, God!" is right. An inessential memento of a bygone era. Unlikely to ever be re-released but fun for kitsch value and movie soundtrack fans. But God only knows how many times you could play this album.
