It was written and produced by Richard "Biff" Stannard and Julian Gallagher, with additional writing by Minogue, Ash Howes, and Martin Harrington.

These songs are super-dense sound collages full of tiny strange little details that reward headphone listening while encouraging, perhaps demanding, dancing.

[30] In 2012, Jason Lipshutz from Billboard listed "Love at First Sight" at six on their "Kylie Minogue Primer: The Top 10 Past Hits You Need to Know", stating "Love at First Sight a dance song that's so self-assured that it completely powers down 70 seconds in, lets Minogue's voice float in the ether for two lines, then triumphantly returns, slaking the thirst of its hungry listener.
"[31] "Love at First Sight" debuted and peaked at number two on the UK Singles Chart, being stalled from the top spot by Elvis Presley and JXL's remix of "A Little Less Conversation".
