It achieved success in many countries, including Austria, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland where it reached the top 10. On the Eurochart Hot 100, "Love Sees No Colour" peaked at number 10. German band Bass Bumpers participated in several remixes of the song.
Critical reception
Ral Cairo from 'Music & Media' wrote, "The song is a charming combination of ambient techno sounds with an irresistible poppy hook."Cairo, Ral (July 24, 1993). "Marketing the Music U96 Surfaces Again". p.8. 'Music & Media. Andy Beevers from 'Music Week' described it as "another stomping commercial rave track, this time carrying an anti-fascist message." Ralph Tee from the magazine's '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." David Petrilla from 'The Weekender' complimented its "pure uplifting energy", adding that "the familiar heavy synthesizer sequences drove me crazy".Petrilla, David (February 2, 1994). "Record Review and New Releases". p. 14. 'The Weekender'.
