How did it end up like this…

Anthony Easton: I like the slide, the hip shimmy, the timeless quality, the hinting but not quite delivering of a grind. Extra point for how confident her voice is.
[8]

Alfred Soto: The “Puttin’ on the Ritz” hook gets through the paces of a salsa-inflected number with bits of pneumatic hilarity (i.e. those giggles) and house overtones. The spoken word section is a threat, not a declaration.

Daniel Montesinos-Donaghy: Squelches, squeaks, squeals, torpedoes almost instantly into self-promo and awkward Spanglish. Imagine a “Candyman” YouTube cover stamping on a human face — forever.

Megan Harrington: This is brassy and it’s not just that horn vamp! Call me old fashioned, but sometimes I like to hear a grown woman with a big voice flirt with the room for a few minutes. Alexander bursts out belting like Ursula, the Sea Witch in seduction mode but she tempers the lust with a little harmless Betty Boop winking. Her cartoony performance is undeniably fun and the melody is ageless.

Brad Shoup: Of course the lifted bit is the best — I know you know about Taco and Young Frankenstein, but come on. The percussion pads about on cat paws, the bass sounds like water slurped down a tub drain.

Edward Okulicz: The way it seems to be almost entirely chorus, with the title inserted everywhere, makes “Put It In a Kiss” seem amusing and frisky, very eager to please. Of course, there has to be ridiculous spoken bits that are more camp than vamp.
