Eugene's solution works but you must have "user interaction enabled" ticked in your NIB file. Or as Mahyar has with the label.userInteractionEnabled = YES.

Here is my solution as I had two seperate labels that I wanted to capture touches from. And I have "user interaction enabled" ticked in my nib file.

    UITapGestureRecognizer *theSpeedTapped = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(tapAction)];
[speedLabel addGestureRecognizer:theSpeedTapped];

UITapGestureRecognizer *theDirectionTapped = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(tapAction)];
[directionLabel addGestureRecognizer:theDirectionTapped];

I hope this helps.
