Critical reception
Alan Jones from Music Week wrote, "Steamroller subtlety from the Teutonic techno team on a song with less substance than "The Omen", and following the well tried female singer/male rapper formula. A hit but probably not set for an extended run in the Top 40."

Music video
The accompanying music video for "In the Middle of the Night" was directed by Manuela Hiller and Oliver Sommer. It was A-listed on Germany's VIVA in September 1994.
