Critical reception
Raùl Cairo from Music & Media wrote that "the song is a charming combination of ambient techno sounds with an irresistible poppy hook." Andy Beevers from Music Week described it as "another stomping commercial rave track, this time carrying an anti-fascist message." Ralph Tee from the RM Dance Update noted, "A big moody wave of synths introduces this Euro house record that sounds strangely dated on first listen with its repeated spoken title line and slightly cheesy bassline, but it grows on you with each play." He added, "Well produced and easy to programme so it's sure to get plenty of attention." Damon Albarn and Alex James of Blur reviewed the song for Smash Hits, giving it a score of four out of five. Albarn said, "It sounds very Germanic. They make music like they make cars. This is Vorsprung durch Technik music.

Why this record matters
“Love Sees No Colour” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Love, Sees and Colour provides the most credible route into that argument.
