Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Evidently, the compilers of Ultra-Lounge: On the Rocks ran out of good material on the first volume of their two-part series, since the songs on Pt. 2 aren't as consistently entertaining as those on the first. Granted, campily comic covers of pop classics by mainstream vocalists is a limited genre, but it's surprising that only a handful of these 22 tracks are entertaining. Again, Julie London's contribution, "Yummy, Yummy, Yummy," is quite funny, simply because the song and the vocalist are so completely mismatched, but it is one of the only standouts on an album weighed down by a preponderance of mediocre instrumentals.

Reseña de Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Evidentemente, los compiladores de Ultra-Lounge: On the Rocks se quedaron sin buen material en el primer volumen de su serie de dos partes, ya que las canciones de la segunda parte no son tan entretenidas como las de la primera. Es cierto que las versiones cómicas de clásicos del pop realizadas por vocalistas convencionales son un género limitado, pero es sorprendente que sólo un puñado de estas 22 canciones sean entretenidas. De nuevo, la contribución de Julie London, "Yummy, Yummy, Yummy", es bastante divertida, simplemente porque la canción y la vocalista son completamente incompatibles, pero es uno de los únicos puntos destacados en un álbum lastrado por una preponderancia de instrumentales mediocres.
