Allmusic Review:
If the majority of bass music producers were even half as talented as C.C. Lemonhead and Jay Ski, the genre might have become more than a hokey cul-de-sac off hip-hop road. The Jacksonville, FL, production team of Lemonhead and Ski were responsible not only for the anthems Whoot (There It Is) and Tootsie Roll (as 95 South and 69 Boyz, respectively), but they also struck platinum with Quad City DJs Cmon n Ride It (The Train). One of the biggest singles of 1996, the song was a relentlessly catchy workout full of witty, shoutable lyrical couplets. Just as the duos previous triumphs had, Cmon n Ride It extricated the raunch from bass music, but retained and even expanded on the booty-shaking rhythms, almost to cartoonish proportions. While Cmon n Ride It was a success as a single, applying its formula to a bankable album was a trickier prospect. Lemonhead and Ski didnt necessarily succeed with Get on up and Dance -- it suffers from repetition, and nothing is as undeniably catchy as the single. But as nothing more than a party record, Get on Up is a harmless, humorous, and entertaining diversion. Work Baby Work (The Prep) is almost a dub plate of Cmon n Ride It, Summer Jam reinterprets the summery piano line of Sister Sledges We Are Family over a rap that cops the meter of Tootsie Roll, and Hey DJ steals Ready for the Worlds Love You Down (just as INOJ later would for her So So Def-affiliated single Love You Down). Hovering at an average of 132 beats per minute, Get on up and Dance also never makes the mistake of including a ballad or an unfunny skit. Its all about dancing, all the time. Two Cmon n Ride It remixes close out the party on a familiar and fun note.
