"Kiss Me Kiss Me" was met with positive reviews from music critics. Christina Garibaldi of MTV stated, "The guys are creating some perfect 'teenage memories,' as they sing about getting in one last kiss before saying goodbye."[3] Zoe James of The Odyssey Online described the track as, "the perfect 5SOS song to jam out to when starting off a long road trip." However she was critical of the song title calling it "cheesy" and "boyband-ish."[5] Jason Lipshutz of Billboard gave mixed review of the track remarking, "The hook on 'Kiss Me Kiss Me' may be a slight downturn from the preceding tracks on 5 Seconds of Summer, but the earnest harmonies push the track list forward."[6]
