==Recording==
Following the release of the Beach Boys album ''[[Surf's Up (album)|Surf's Up]]'' in August 1971, Dennis Wilson collaborated with Daryl Dragon, intending to record a solo album. ''Cuddle Up'' was initially recorded for this project in late 1971 under the working title ''Old Movie''.<ref>{{cite web |title=GIGS71|first=Andrew G. |last=Doe |authorlink=Andrew Grayham Doe |year=2012 |accessdate=October 26, 2012 |url=http://www.esquarterly.com/bellagio/gigs71.html}}</ref>{{better|date=September 2021}}
After the idea for producing this solo album was abandoned, Dennis re-recorded "Cuddle Up" at his brother Brian's home studio in [[Bel Air, California]] on May 15, 1972 for the Beach Boys.<ref>Badman, Keith.

The lead vocal on ''Cuddle Up'' is performed by Dennis and production is credited to the Beach Boys.<ref name="Allmusic"/>
A slightly different mix of ''Cuddle Up'' was pressed on the b-side to "[[You Need a Mess of Help to Stand Alone (song)|You Need a Mess of Help to Stand Alone]]". It features alternate mixing, additional string overdubs and backing vocals.{{
==Reception==
Matthew Greenwald of [[Allmusic]] stated ""Cuddle Up" is a somewhat top-heavy, classically influenced ballad. However, the lyrics and Dennis Wilson's excellent vocals render this an emotional masterpiece, closing the album out with style" and noted that it is essential listening for those exploring Dennis Wilson's talents.<ref name="Cuddle Up, Allmusic">{{cite web|last= Greenwald |first=Matthew |url=http://www.allmusic.com/song/cuddle-up-mt0028736435 |title=Cuddle Up - The Beach Boys : Listen, Appearances, Song Review : Allmusic|publisher=Allmusic |accessdate=2012-12-11}}</ref>
