Pleased to Meet You is the third studio album by English Britpop band Sleeper. The album was released on 13 October 1997[1] in the UK, peaking at #7 on the UK Album Chart.[2] Two singles were released from this album, "She's a Good Girl", which reached #28, and "Romeo Me", which scraped in at #39 on the UK Top 40 singles chart.[2] Remixes of "Motorway Man" by producer Steve Osbourne were released on 12" vinyl.

In a review for AllMusic, Stephen Thomas Erlewine stated that Pleased to Meet You "demonstrates that [Louise] Wener's songwriting has strengthened, as her melodies have more weight and her lyrics have more depth," and gave the record a three-star review.[1] It was recorded in summer 1997 in London.[3]
