Cash Box called it "a delightfully perky little ditty, melodic and catchy as the day is long."[2] Billboard said "steel drums carry unhurried rhythms, and the rocker is temporarily tamed into a crooner."[3]
Although it is among Stewart`s most successful singles, he rarely performs "Love Touch" in concert. Stewart holds a low opinion of the song`s lyrics, calling it "one of the silliest songs I`ve ever recorded," in the liner notes of Encore: The Very Best of Rod Stewart Volume 2.
