Critical reception
David Jeffries of AllMusic referred to the song as "cute", positively commenting on the use of "a censor's bleep into its synth pop melody".[5] Emily Mackay of NME criticized the song, commenting that "There's no lamer sound in 'offensive' pop than the blarts in 'Touchin' On My': 'Touchin' on my BLART/While I'm touching on your BLART'".[6] Jody Rosen of Rolling Stone stated that "The formula is the same: dopey electro rock bolstering "raps" about drinking ("Wake up next to pharaohs hung over in Cairo") and getting girls to "touch on" their privates", in reference to "I Know How to Say" and "Touchin' on My" respectively.[7] Bree Davies of Westword stated that the track "follows a well-worn formula for 3OH!3: It's an EKG beat-styled sex jam that lyrically walks the thin line between jokey and raunchy. Though their music barely stands out among their pop-rap contemporaries -- er, Kesha."[8]
