Critical reception
Jon O'Brien from AllMusic noted "the sultry chill-out pop" of "One Kiss from Heaven".{{cite web|first=Jon|last=O'Brien|url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/changing-faces-best-of-louise-mw0000462815|title=Louise — Changing Faces: Best of Louise|publisher=AllMusic|date= |accessdate=21 October 2021}} Kristy Barker from Melody Maker praised the song as "perfectly formed" and "perfectly executed swingbeat".{{cite magazine|first=Kristy|last=Barker|url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/nothingelseon/53690047106/|title=Albums|magazine=Melody Maker|date=6 July 1996|page=43|access-date=14 May 2024}} A reviewer from Music Week gave it three out of five, stating that her "impressive solo track record will no doubt continue with this fifth single from Naked. It is her most sophisticated offering yet, but lacks the simple charm of its predecessors."{{cite magazine|url= https://worldradiohistory.com/UK/Music-Week/1996/Music-Week-1996-11-09.pdf |title= Reviews: Singles |magazine= Music Week |date= 9 November 1996 |page= 10 |accessdate= 4 October 2021}} In his album review, Mark Sutherland from NME described it as a "soppy smoocher".{{cite web|url=http://www.nme.com/reviews/reviews/19980101000855reviews.html|title=Louise – Naked|last=Sutherland|first=Mark|website=NME|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20000817195646/http://www.nme.com/reviews/reviews/19980101000855reviews.html|archive-date=17 August 2000|access-date=24 November 2020}}
