Critical reception

Jon O'Brien from AllMusic described "Light of My Life" as "a lighters-in-the-air ballad".[2] James Masterton for Dotmusic viewed the song as "a beautiful ballad that shows her voice off to perfect effect".[3] Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, "For her debut single, Louise, once a member of Eternal, cites Stevie Wonder and Quincy Jones as major influences. This smooth ballad, penned by producer Simon Climie, is certainly a change from the up-tempo energy of Eternal."[4] A reviewer from Music Week deemed it as "a disappointing track that may do well but is unlikely to have Eternal worrying too much."[5] Mark Sutherland from NME desscribed it as a "Mariah Carey-esque ballad".[6]
