The Guardian said the song was designed "to encourage a lighters-aloft moment." [4] BBC Music described the track as "perky" and "magical". [5]Digital Spy noted: " 'Hold Up a Light', led by Mark Owen, is a fist-pumping anthem that will require a lot of ticker tape when played live."
The music video begins with Take That in bed together before they wake up and get ready for the day ahead. The video shows the band getting spray tanned (a homage to Jason Orange), getting perm haircuts and performing in an empty church while the congregation dance around them. The video is described by Owen as fun and tongue-in-cheek.
The video is black and white and shows the band dressed in black performing the song. The video is interspersed with blurred images of people going about their daily lives. In the official Take That book Take Two the band express their dislike for the video, claiming that it worked with still images but as a music video, it did not work.
