The montage it accompanies was typical of the era and I think it works great. The music needed to be as far removed from the brilliant cue that follows it, "Jefferson Institute" and reflect what's going on, which is a couple on a romantic weekend on the Cape. The theme also needed to be prominent and memorable because it only returns as a brief quote at the end of the picture. There were also lyrics for it and it may have been considered at one point to include them in the movie.
Also note there is only one tiny score cue prior to the montage, which sets up the suspense element briefly, and that point happens 55 minutes into the picture. Before that there's just some source music. For me it's a brilliant score, ingeniously and daringly composed and spotted.

As much as I love Jerry I think his love themes at the time -- COMA, MAGIC, THE OMEN, CAPRICORN ONE -- were over-the-top.
Judging by his Oscar acceptance speech I think he was just overdosing on love.

FYI, I suspect this track was intended to be a song (There was a lyric written and it was published), hence the very pop arrangement.
I Suspect that it just didn't work out and they left it as a Instrumental.
Just a wild guess on my part here.
