REVIEWS
x So amazing it will make your head explode (...). It's precisely the sort of thing that makes you slightly less worried about whether this year will or won't see a new Girls Aloud album. Popjustice

x The cheeky lyrics are backed by a typically infectious Xenomania production boasting struttable synths, loads of "whooosh!" effects and a chorus as moreish as a bag of Haribo Tangfastics. We may have waited five months for it, but the result is a fool-proof pop stomper that should return the pair to their rightful place at the top of the charts. 5/5 Digital Spy

x 'One Touch' (...) is so good that we hereby grant all other popstars the rest of the day off to reconsider their options. Popjustice

x Xenomania's newest poppets, with a giddy-making hi-NRG belter. Times Online

x The lyrics, the filthy filthy lyrics...well they're so rude they should not be listened to be anyone ever. I'm probably breaking several of the BBC's strictest rules by even talking about them. (...) There's that fantastic Calvin Harris-y bassline running through all the verses, that makes up for a LOT. And the chorus is pretty great too, if you can get past the astonishing disgustingness. It's stuffed full of chuntering synthy goodness, whooshy noises, the occasional robo-harmony (tastefully done, for a change), all the things we have come to recognise as key ingredients in a good pop song. And make no mistake, this IS a good pop song. It's just also a very bad pop song. Very bad indeed. Wicked, really. 4/5 BBC Chart Blog

x They have given us another slice of unadulterated joy with 'One Touch'. The song is even more catchy than their previous offerings with some absolutely killer disco hooks. The vocals are so studio polished that they actually encapsulate that annoying term 'Bubblegum Pop'. It is a sure-fire song for filling up dance floors and put people in a good mood when they hear it on the radio. Each chorus is a staggering collection of perfect pop beats, rising synths and deadpan vocals that melt together in a nigh on perfect way. AllGigs.co.uk

x "One Touch" is the type of pure pop confection that you'd only get from Europe -- everything about it screams glittery discotheque. (...) "One Touch" is geniunely incredible, in every hype-inflating version of the word in the music blogger's handbook. (...) I haven't heard a pop song (in English) that's made me feel this good in quite a while, which is why I credit it for pulling me back down to my grounding loves in the pop music world. Melismatic

x Mini Viva's new single 'One Touch' is set to be one of the pop highlights of the year. Glasswerk

x Sparkly, sweet and yet bubbly - these words may help describe 'One Touch'. It's just pop perfect with a 90's feel in it which I deffo love. The Beat Review

x The ides of Mini Viva is so pleasing, and the execution would only be improved if this song still has its original title, Want A Candy? On one level it's a total ripoff of like ten Girls Aloud tracks (Sexy No No No being one) and it has that 90's house keyboard so au courant right now. But somehow it's just RIGHT. XO'S Middle Eight

x The latest single from the sassiest duo around is a bit like Madonna's Vogue re-visited for 2010. In fact, we love it so much that we've already been trying to perfect the girls' moves in this video. Hmmm... perhaps we should have kept that last part to ourselves! 4Music

x This latest single is perhaps their best so far, and carries all the verve and originality that is to be expected of a Xenomania production, along with a nifty video chock-full of the girls’ trademark dance moves. Popbitch

x Just by looking at these two fiery & feisty chicks you can just tell their music is good! They are slowly but surely taking the Pop world by storm. (...) This is Pop music at its finest. The beats are sublime and these girls don't need to wail over the tune to prove they got the goods. I really love this song and the video is just above and beyond GLAM! Aamyko

x After falling short of the Top 40 with their last single I Wish, Mini Viva have dusted themselves down and brought out a track that's arguably even better than Left My Heart In Tokyo. One Touch is a sugary sweet pop gem with a real 80s feel to it and a hooky 'hips, lips, fashion status' bit that simply refuses to leave your head, even after one listen! 4Music

x 'One Touch' has a chorus that is undeniable; a Catholic Pope of a whooshing melody that reminds you just how unnaturally gifted Brian'n'Miranda are. To listen to it is to be reminded of Girls Aloud when they were still (woe) a Real Five and not wasting their preciouses opening theme pubs; they had better things to do, things like 'Close To Love'. See, 'One Touch' is just really, really, really brilliant; I can't be bothered to describe it any other way. You know, in one of my (many) shoeboxes of tat, tickets and forgotten dweams, there is a cassette tape of me and my sister listening to the charts. And there is this bit I remember, where you can hear me - fit-to-burst - go 'Oh! OH! I LOVE THIS ONE!'. That is how I feel about 'One Touch'. Drowned In Sound
