Critical reception

British magazine Music Week gave the song four out of five, concluding that "Frank Tomiczek's synth-driven instrumental, effectively remixed by Nalin & Kane, will appeal to house and trance fans." [2] Chris Finan from Record Mirror Dance Update rated "Meet Her at the Love Parade" five out of five, writing, "This German track is already well established on various imports in its Nalin & Kane versions which stand out for the simplicity of the looped synth stabs." [3]

Music video

Nikolas Mann directed the music video for the song, which premiered in mid-1997. The music video Stéphane Sednaoui directed for Björk's 1993 single "Big Time Sensuality" heavily influenced the video.
