Critical reception
Jose F. Promis from AllMusic described "Just a Touch of Love" as "a sleek, elegant, straight-up house jam sans rap".[3] Clark and DeVaney from Cashbox stated that it "has the commercial/dance sound that is in much demand and has already been proven to be successful."[4] Pan-European magazine Music & Media commented, "More dance from American groove masters C&C. Just a touch of rap and a little bit of scratching are covered in soulful and meaty vocals. Slightly reminiscent of the '70s, there are echoes of Chic, among others."[5] Marc Andrews from Smash Hits wrote, "Here the C&Cs shamelessly steal large portions from Mads' most brilliant effort ["Vogue"] but most significantly, Freedom Williams doesn't even get a rap look-in. There's just Zelma with her dangerously over-ironed tresses screeching her lungs out."[6]
