Critical reception
'Slant Magazine' placed "Dirty Talk" at number 67 on its '100 Greatest Dance Songs', commenting "that the lack of effective sex banter doesn't at all hinder 1982's 'Dirty Talk' is a testament to the wonderfully nonsensical charms of Italo disco. [...] The percolating rhythms, though, were nothing to laugh atthat tubular bassline sounds suspiciously like a 303, and even if it wasn't, 'Dirty Talk' provided more than a few footsteps to house."
'Pitchfork Media' included the song on 'The Pitchfork 500: Our Guide to the Greatest Songs from Punk to the Present'.

French recording duo Miss Kittin & The Hacker covered "Dirty Talk" for their 1998 EP 'Champagne', and also included the song as a b-side for their single "1982".
