You're the Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me is a 1973 studio album by Dean Martin, arranged by Ernie Freeman and Larry Muhoberac, and produced by Jimmy Bowen.
Bowen returned to the country pop format that he had abandoned for Martin's previous album, and included Traditional pop standards, R&B songs, and an Italian song. Four of the songs, "I'm Confessin' (That I Love You)", "Baby Won't You Please Come Home," "I Don't Know Why," and "Gimme a Little Kiss, Will Ya, Huh?", had previously appeared on his 1964 album Dream with Dean.
It was reissued on CD by Hip-O Records in 2009.
William Ruhlmann on Allmusic.com gave the album two and a half stars out of five. Ruhlmann said that "The idea, it seemed, was to try a little everything, and Martin, as usual, was game. But he really needed to have displayed such versatility earlier".
