- 75New York PostLou LumenickNew York PostLou LumenickA clever and big- hearted gay screwball comedy.
- 70The Hollywood ReporterKirk HoneycuttThe Hollywood ReporterKirk HoneycuttWhat makes the film so much fun is an ingenious plot device embedded in Rashid's sharply observed screenplay.
- 67Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumEntertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumRashid's optimistic fairy tale is inventive, in a show-queen way.
- 60Film ThreatFilm ThreatRashid's love of cinema is obvious in every frame. He interweaves nostalgia with modern subject matter. Pace and comic timing are perfect.

- 40Village VoiceVillage VoicePresumably writer-director Ian Iqbal Rashid chose Grant because Bogie's been done, but that didn't stop him from lifting Touch of Pink's plot wholesale from "The Wedding Banquet."
- 40L.A. WeeklyScott FoundasL.A. WeeklyScott FoundasTouch of Pink is really a big glob of "The Wedding Banquet," with some "Will & Grace" mixed in to remind us that gay people are actually quaintly neurotic and funny once you get to know them.
- 40The New York TimesStephen HoldenThe New York TimesStephen HoldenExcept for the piquant garnish of Mr. MacLachlan, the movie, written and directed by Ian Iqbal Rashid, is barely a cut above an amateur production. The attempts at humor fizzle, and the performances are wooden and overstated.
- 40TV Guide MagazineKen FoxTV Guide MagazineKen FoxYou may give up on Ian Iqbal Rashid's feature debut long before things get interesting, courtesy of a distracting conceit that shatters whatever spell the hackneyed premise might cast.
