AllMusic editor Alex Henderson felt that Italian producer Gianfranco Bortolotti "sees to it that vocal personality is a prime ingredient of such exuberant offerings" as "Touch Me".

[4] Bill Coleman from Billboard described the song as a "soulful "Ride On Time"-style workout", noting that "strong production and a contagious chorus render track satisfying.

[6] Ernest Hardy from Cashbox found that inspired by the success of Black Box and “Ride on Time”, "this one finds Aretha Franklin in the Loleatta Holloway role."

"[9] Lola Borg from Smash Hits complimented it as "genuine Italian house music", noting that "it sounds like a cross between Lil Louis (with mad barking dogs) and Black Box and it's fiendishly good and can only be appreciated fully by wiggling all over the shop whilst it's on at full blast.

"[10] Another editor, Ian Cranna, praised the single as "glorious", with "prime quality Italian house-thumping beats ahoy, rousing piano and strings galore and singalong catchy pop bits all over the shop.
