"Eartha Kitt's lyrics may now seem innocent and tongue in cheek, but in their day ware considered suggestive and even banned on some radio stations, but what good publicity".
Ossie Dales, "Purrfect" (2000)

"She also was given a gentle touch of notoriety by being "Blasted in Los Angeles" - a modern switch on being "Banned in Boston".

"These songs hark back to a time when the power of suggestion was still potent.
Innocent as they now seem, ditties like C'est si bon and I want to be evil wereeyebrow-raisers in the 1950s; in some cities they were even banned from radio. But byno means did Eartha limit herself to naughty tunes."James Gavin, box-set "Eartha-Quake" (1993)

"Eartha's art is not bounded buy one style or by one language. She has great emotional range and is able, also, to express herself in other languages - among them Spanish, which she knows quite well and in which she can communicate feelingly and create different moods, as evidenced in this recording".
"Eartha Kitt Sings in Spanish (Canta en Español)" (1965)

" 'I simply look for good, meaningful lyrics enhanced by a good melody, and then adapt the song to my needs. It's a matter of interpretation'. Eartha always displays excellent taste in her choice of material, and she tackles a very varied selection on this, her first MGM record. [...] Here is the intoxicating Miss Eartha Kitt at her best - a supremaly talented artist who reaches for perfection and gets there every time!"
Keith Goodwin, "Bad but beautiful" (1962)
