[14] Oris Aigbokhaevbolo of Music in Africa praised Stories That Touch for showcasing Falz's unique ability to merge different cultural and social influences.

Aigbokhaevbolo highlighted the tracks "Karishika" and "Time Difference" as key examples of Falz's class shape-shifting, which allows him to appeal to both "local" and "abroad" audiences.

However, the reviewer noted that Falz's versatility, while impressive, prevents him from being fully embraced as a dominant figure in any single class, unlike his contemporaries Olamide and M.I.

[17] Tola Sarumi of NotJustOk rated Stories That Touch an 8/10, praising Falz for blending humor with serious storytelling and highlighting his versatility as a rapper.

Sarumi commended the album's standout tracks, including "Karishika" and "Soldier," and noted the strong production from Sess, Spax, and others.

[15] Should You Bump This (Sho, Tunde, and guest Kel) gave Stories That Touch a strong 4/5, praising Falz's growth in the Nigerian rap scene.

They highlight tracks like "Kabiyesi", "Soft Work", "Karishika", and "Soldier" for their sharp lyrics, strong production, and clever humor.

Kel calls it a "pretty good" sophomore album, while Tunde notes that it showcases Falz's evolution beyond his comedic persona, solidifying his place as a well-rounded artist.
