[edit] Reviews

The song received mainly positive reviews:

• BBC Pop Reviews link:

“

...The other high point is "Touch of My Hand", its sugary sweet harmonies can't help but impress.

”

• Amazon.com link:

“

...R. Kelly, Moby, and Ying Yang Twins all provide stirring moments that draw on everything from Bollywood to Southern hip-hop, while one of the most impressive tracks, "Touch of My Hand," joins the proud tradition of Cyndi Lauper's "She Bop."...

”

• E! Online link:

“

Tracks like "Breathe on Me", "Touch of My Hand" and the Moby-produced trance number "Early Mornin'" have a seductive shimmer that the belly-baring babe keeps pumped of breathy talk, come-hither groans and other vocal gyrations.

”

• Rolling Stone link:

“

...And if there's no lover available, there's always "Touch of My Hand," an ode to masturbation.

”

[edit] Controversy

During her Onyx Hotel Tour, Spears received much criticism for her performance of "Touch of My Hand", as well as for the song "Breathe on Me", both of which featured scantily clad dancers performing explicit routines simulating sex, orgies and masturbation. During the performance of "Touch of My Hand", Spears came out on stage in a white robe, which she soon removed to reveal a completely see-through skin-colored suit that gave the illusion of nudity. She then proceeded to dance suggestively in a clear bath tub, at one point even simulating masturbation.
