Reception
Critical response
Jim Garner with TV Fanatic who reviewed the first part of the crossover said "it was a lot of fun having Hanna and Callen from NCIS: Los Angeles visit the Five-0" and gave the episode an editorial rating of 4.4 out of 5 stars.[17] Carla Day also with TV Fanatic who reviewed the second part said ""Touch of Death" worked well, but the crossover was a bit of a mess. Even though they were tracking the same smallpox, the cases were very different. Back in Hawaii, it was all about Comescu, but then it took an odd shift from Jarrod Prodeman selling to Dr. Holden in Los Angeles" and gave the episode an editorial rating of 4.6 out of 5 stars.[18]
