  1. J.Lo has a feisty, damn-I-know-I'm-all-that attitude, combined with pulsating, insistent beats that leap out of the speakers and make you wanna move.
  2. As a singer, J.Lo sounds more confident, as she takes more chances with a voice that is technically limited but well-suited to the material she handles.
  3. She's little more than an ex-Fly Girl with a bunch of studio tricks to help kick off the party.
  4. She's giving us déjà vu all over and over and over again by basically sticking to the same set of sonic templates throughout the 15-track album, never making much effort to shift up the tempos, melodies, and structures.
  5. Lopez mostly sticks to a successful formula - R&B lite with a Latin touch.
  6. Consistently aims for the lowest common denominator...
  7. It's the continual indulgence of Lopez's Gloria Estefan ambitions with various generic Latin tracks, completely at odds with everything else, that really grates.

    I turned it off after two tracks. I put it on because I had a memory of my seventh grade dance and I wanted to relive that then I realized I turned it off after two tracks.
