12 reviews. AllMusic's Andy Kellman said that Touch is an improvement over All I Have because of better written songs and consistent production, which is accessible to listeners of different ages. Tom Breihan of Pitchfork felt that Harrison makes the most out of Amerie's "thin, reedy" voice, which he found more sophisticated than singers such as Nivea or Ashanti. Ben Sisario of Blender magazine wrote that "Amerie's heat is irresistible, in large part because it's subtle." Vibe magazine's Angie Romero complimented her emotional singing, but was most impressed by her songs with Harrison: "Their exquisite blend of the delicate and the demonstrative proves that, whether it's hard or soft, love is love." Bill Werde of Rolling Stone observed some ordinary R&B songs on what is otherwise a more mature album by Amerie. In a less enthusiastic review, Stylus Magazines Al Shipley was disappointed that Harrison did not produce the rest of Touch, which he felt would have made it more consistent. Both Uncut magazine and Kelefa Sanneh of The New York Times said that none of the album's other songs are as impressive as "1 Thing"; Sanneh called it one of the year's best singles. Robert Christgau of The Village Voice singled out "1 Thing" and the title track as "choice cuts", which indicates good songs on an otherwise bad album. He referred to "1 Thing" as "a machine-gun one-shot on an album with its safety engaged" in his accompanying essay for the Pazz & Jop critics poll, in which the song had been voted the third best single of 2005. Commercial performance Touch debuted at number five on the US Billboard 200, selling 124,000 copies in its first week of release. The album was certified gold by the RIAA in August 2005, and by June 2009, it had sold 406,000 copies in the United States. The album entered the UK Albums Chart at number 32 before peaking at number 28; it spent a total of six weeks on the chart. Elsewhere, Touch reached number 57 in Australia, number 59 in France, number 70 the Netherlands, number 83 in Switzerland, number 91 in Germany and number 93 in Belgium.
