Writing for Variety, Andrew Barker praised the naturalism of the film and the "entirely believable" dialogue between the young women. The Guardian Peter Bradshaw, who awarded the film 4 out of 5 stars, commended its "seductively laid-back documentary realist style" and the way it subverts the skateboarding film genre. Similarly, Jimi Famurewa of Empire described Skate Kitchen as "fresh, infectiously joyful and [...] quietly revolutionary", rating it 4 out of 5 stars. In a review for Entertainment Weekly, Leah Greenblatt called the film "a fantastically set mood piece" and gave particular praise to the "urban poetry" of Shabier Kirchner's cinematography.

" Alexis Petridis of The Guardian was less positive, writing that "[...] It's so desperate to be a smash hit that it ends up sounding like one of those novelty singles that used to blight the September charts, bought by returning holidaymakers with rosy memories of the hotel disco; all it's lacking is an accompanying dance." Philip Matusavage of musicOMH also gave the song a mixed review, writing that "It's a neat précis of the problems facing Robbie in 2012. Its bouncy dancehall brass is undeniably and infectiously catchy but it’s also short-lived; the song leaves no impression at its end.

Long before Open Tennis, Segura turned professional in 1947 and was an immediate crowd-pleaser with his winning smile, infectiously humorous manner, and unorthodox but deadly game. According to Bobby Riggs, Jack Harris (the promoter of the forthcoming Riggs-Kramer tour for 1948) attempted to sign Ted Schroeder to play the preliminary matches of the tour. Ultimately he failed and instead signed Segura to play the latest Australian amateur champion, Dinny Pails. Instead of a percentage of the gross receipts, as Riggs and Kramer were contracted for, Segura and Pails were each paid $300 a week.

Often labeled as indie rock power pop with emphasis on Avary's distinctive vocals and instrumental diversity. Substream Magazine states, "The newest album Zoetic embraces electronic elements without ignoring Avary’s infallible knack for hooks—think of it as if Trent Reznor, Mutemath and Paper Route formed a supergroup in secret." Rick Anderson of Allmusic described his music as a range of "headlong blasts of pure power pop cheer" to "sonata form" and ballads—all of which Anderson categorized as "infectiously joyful." The Rocket Summer's music is marked by his use of guitar, piano, bass, percussion, and melodic hooks.

The Budd Lake native and Delbarton graduate is nominated for best animated short for "Fresh Guacamole," an infectiously entertaining stop-motion wonder that clocks in at one minute and 40 seconds, the shortest film ever nominated for an Oscar."

The AllMusic review awarded the album 3 and a half stars stating "Fonsi opens ABRAZAR LA VIDA with the plaintive torch song "Quien Te Dijo Eso?," akin to Babyface's country turn on "When Will I See You Again," followed by the more R&B-flavored;, but still torch-laden, title song. However, the dance floor is not ignored, as Latin horn touches snake in infectiously on the frenetic "Yo Te Propongo," an almost dizzying number. On ABRAZAR LA VIDA, Fonsi reveals himself to be most comfortable in the modern crooner dye, and casts a satisfying pop shadow with his fifth album.".

TV Guide noted that the film blends and recycles elements from the story of Bonnie and Clyde and Terrence Malick's "love on the run" film Badlands (1973). It gave True Romance overall a favourable review for having "enough energy and verve to create something entirely fresh and infectiously entertaining". Richard Corliss of Time Magazine made similar statements and also likened the film to the earlier, seminal Bonnie and Clyde. Arquette next appeared in the television film Betrayed by Love (1994), and the well-received biopic Ed Wood, directed by Tim Burton and starring Johnny Depp, where she portrayed his girlfriend.

Olaf Tyaransen of Hot Press called the song "surprisingly straightforward but still infectiously catchy", while the magazine's Peter Murphy said the track broke the band's trend of releasing lead singles that broke new sonic ground but were not the best songs from their respective albums.

Bradley Torreano, writing for Allmusic, stated that with this album, Ozma has "arguably written the best Weezer album of 2001 (and yes, the real thing also had an album come out the same year)." The "11 slabs of infectiously singable power pop on this little- album-that-could" compelled Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo to insist that Ozma open two nationwide tours for Weezer in 2001 and 2002. In an "Ask Me Anything" interview on the website Reddit, Cuomo recommended Rock and Roll Part Three in response to what two albums every Weezer fan should listen to (the other album being Pet Sounds).

The adlocutio is one of the most widely represented formulas of Roman art. The convention is regularly shown in individual figures like the famous Augustus of Prima Porta or can be put into a narrative context as seen in the Aurelian panel. Gestures and body language are crucial for the study of adlocutio in ancient times, as addressing to thousands of soldiers was less penetrable by voice compared to body language and gestures which were more powerful, infectiously raising the army's enthusiasm. Characteristic of the formula is the outstretched hand of speech as well as the contrapposto pose with the weight clearly shifted to one leg.

Although the discoverers of GTA assumed that gene transfer was the function of the particles, the presumed benefits of gene transfer come at a substantial cost to the population. Most of this cost arises because GTA- producing cells must lyse (burst open) to release their GTA particles, but there are also genetic costs associated with making new combinations of genes, because most new combinations will usually be less fit than the original combination. One alternative explanation is that GTA genes persist because GTAs are genetic parasites that spread infectiously to new cells. However this is ruled out because GTA particles typically are too small to contain the genes that encode them.

BACH 721 at The Leipziger Weihnachtskantaten recording by the Collegium Vocale Gent, conducted by Philippe Herreweghe, was reviewed as with "bracing but not rushed tempos, infectiously energetic and technically solid contributions from the chorus, and an intelligently paced flow from movement to movement." The Guardian wrote: "Herreweghe's accounts are typically thoughtful, not at all theatrical or dramatically driven, and that slightly laid-back approach takes the edge off the Magnificat too, though the quality of the solo and choral singing, and the careful shaping of the orchestral lines are all exemplary."Andrew Clements.

" Lipshutz concluded, "Lohan's best-case scenario was returning with a song with this sort of bulletproof hook, and by the end of "Back To Me," you'll be hitting the replay button and rooting for her." Paris Close at iHeart stated that "Lohan delivered a hot new club anthem [...] which sounds as therapeutic as it is triumphant." MTV's Madeline Roth compared the energy of the track to Lohan's single "Rumors," declaring her "musical career once again looks bright." Entertainment Weekly called the song "a breezy, infectiously catchy electro-pop gem" and also noted that the song sees her singing about "reconnecting with herself in the wake of past trauma.

This doesn't mean she's not sincere when she rhapsodizes over the charms of the Bay Area, or gushes about how amazed she is to be a star and how grateful she is to her fans for helping her become one. It simply means she's gone so far into the star-making machinery she's forgotten how to convey that sincerity in anything besides packaged sound bites." Derek Paiva of The Honolulu Advertiser described Stefani's show in Honolulu as "infectiously energetic". He states, "In times like these, Stefani showed the fun, endearing and still very grateful side of her that all the costume changes, unnecessary stage production, slickly dumb songs and accompanying bling can't bury.

Since its release, "Pump It Up" has seen positive reception from critics. Allmusic's Deming calls the song "as exciting, insistent, and physically powerful as anything Costello might have been railing against" and noted that the track "perfectly captures the giddy but terrifying feeling of an wild, adrenaline- fueled all-night party that's dangling on the verge of collapse". Amy Poulter of The Virginian Pilot writes, "Even if you're not a fan, you've most likely heard the song and gotten caught up in its infectiously-peppy rhythm and melody".

Alice Vincent of The Daily Telegraph gave the song four out of five stars, saying that it "delights me to write that this is a return to 'Just Dance'-era Gaga: a simple, infectiously catchy slice of floor-filling, stadium-cheering pop". She also complimented the "rich timbre" of Gaga's vocals on the song, and her emoting. For Jess Denham from The Independent, "Perfect Illusion" sounded more rock-oriented than "Just Dance" or "Poker Face"; she also complimented the vocals, compared the verses to work by singer Bruce Springsteen, and added that the track was "as catchy as they come and sure to prove a club banger".

She contributed to the Macintosh identity and devised ways to make the machine humanized, intuitively usable, relatable, and inviting. Her whimsical personality was essential to the infectiously budding culture and lore of the early Macintosh team, and infused into the product. She stunned the staff of accomplished pixel artists and engineers with her unexpectedly personable renditions of their portraits in the Mac's standard pixel monochrome resolution for icons. She and Steve Capps sewed a Jolly Roger pirate flag with a rainbow colored Apple logo eyepatch, as the christening brand of the new Macintosh headquarters at Brandley 3, embracing Steve Jobs's ethos "it's better to be a pirate than to join the Navy".

Tim Goodman of The Hollywood Reporter noted "...if you can't smash something like the Hulk does or be a badass in the mold of Batman, you're going to need to make that 'I run fast' thing the basis of jokes and endearment rather than fear and awe". He felt the pilot had captured "precisely the right mood". The Los Angeles Times Mary McNamara thought the show was "super-engaging" with a hero who is "both smart and loved, before and after his transformation," supporting the view that "the geek has inherited the earth".

According to the Belfast Telegraph staff, the song is "infectiously catchy, earworm-friendly", and sassy. Vulture writer Myles Tanzer said the song "follows the classic Luke and Cirkut formula: a scientifically perfect '80s-inspired pop song, heavy on hooks and tweetable lyrics". In a mixed review, The Daily Telegraph writer Alim Kheraj called "Sweet but Psycho" "an unapologetically generic piece of pop" and opined that in contrast to Billie Holiday's "Crazy He Calls Me", Patsy Cline's "Crazy", Madonna's "Crazy for You", and Beyoncé's "Crazy in Love"—which are all songs about male-inspired women's madness—it says "interesting things" about female artists' newly found freedom of expression and that female pop singers are "now reclaiming the negative connotations around madness and womenhood".

Writing for the website AllMusic, Stephen Thomas Erlewine described Willennium positively as "gaudy, giddy, infectiously silly, and proudly over-the-top", praising the album for featuring "bright, joyful party music that celebrates its big beats and big hooks". Erlewine noted the use of samples from "Rock the Casbah" by English punk rock band The Clash in the single "Will 2K" as "so mind-bogglingly unpredictable that it's hard not to smile". In addition to upbeat songs, the album has also been described as featuring ballads (including "No More") and Latin pop sounds (on "La Fiesta"). Nathan Rabin of The A.V. Club describes the album negatively as composed of "slick, soulless party jams, old-school nostalgia, chemistry-free duets ... and cheerful materialism".

But she's also just as neurotic, which adds depth to her love songs." Mikael Wood of the Los Angeles Times opined, "At its best, Push and Shove channels some of the infectiously restless energy of Rock Steady [...] And it further polishes a bold mix-and- match aesthetic that feels familiar today in part because of records such as Tragic Kingdom." Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine found that "the more interesting tracks are stacked on the front end of Push and Shove, and the songs on the second half of the album are comparably safer, blurring together upon first listen." Theon Weber of Spin concluded, "This isn't a great album [...] It's also—in its confidence, its playfulness, and the slightly stoned degree to which it is relaxed—No Doubt's most accomplished party.

Preferring to concentrate on substance over style, the band members were renowned for dressing down and wearing their glasses on stage, whilst the vocals were delivered with pointedly southern English phrasing. 1996 saw the appearance of the demo/release Product (brilliantly named after randomly picking a word from the ingredients list of a packet of peanuts) which received praise for its engagingly catchy songwriting. The band spent the next couple of years gaining a reputation as one of the hardest working unsigned bands (largely due to the efforts of manager and promoter, "Rubberhead" Pete Cole) and developing an infectiously fun and chaotic on-stage style. Several rave reviews in the national music press followed. During this time, Inter was featured on Fierce Panda's Screecher Comforts EP and headlined NME's 1997 Brats Unsigned.

USA Today said the film "serves as a vivid reminder of just how huge a role the great tenor Luciano Pavarotti played for a generation" and that "the passionate way the infectiously beaming, Hawaiian shirt-loving opera star lived his life is the most enchanting element of Pavarotti". The New York Times said "If Luciano Pavarotti ever had a bad day, you wouldn't know it from Pavarotti, an upbeat film that recounts the singer's life, or at least its better moments." On the other hand, NPR said the film "misses all the right notes", adding "Pavarotti feels like a missed chance to tell a good story". The Washington Post described the documentary as "terrible but timely", a "mediocre film, imperfect and annoying", that opera lovers should nevertheless watch.

Brian Bromberger of The Bay Area Reporter said it "may be one of the best bisexual films ever made", also deeming it "unmissable at all costs", and Alex de Vore of the Santa Fe Reporter said that the ending is "one of the most meaningful moments of hope ever captured on film". In the critics poll of the TIFF line-up, it placed second for Best Screenplay behind One Night in Miami; in another critics poll it was placed joint-third for the best film of the festival.

Gigwise journalist Julia Hope named it the band's best song thus far and a "feel-good, soulful anthem;" she also opined that its lyrics "seem to deliver a deeper meaning" upon further listening and called it "addictive from start to finish." Lucy Mapstone of the Belfast Telegraph expressed similar sentiments: she called it "infectiously upbeat" as well as "easily the best offering" on its parent album Now, Not Yet, further praising it as a "a jazzy-sounding song with an over-exuberant feel and layers upon layers of musical fun." Jacobs considered that it "exemplifies the group's exciting draws" and expressed pleasure that it "rightfully gained traction in late 2018." The track was the band's breakout single and first to chart in the United States, reaching number 7 on the Alternative Songs chart and at number 21 on Hot Rock Songs chart in July 2019.

"Ungawa" proved to be a popular song online, where the track appeared on numerous audioblogs including [Fluxblog] and [Gorilla Vs. Bear], and in the LA club scene, where it was spun by Peaches and JD Samson of Le Tigre. The press response to Chow Nasty quickly blossomed, and the SF Weekly described the group as "Sweet jams and beats that go boom, it's 21st century soul music as played by three kids with A.D.D. and a cursory knowledge of Radio Shack electronics," and the SF Bay Guardian commenting that their "Infectiously goofy, balls-out shows come off like some kind of underage, oversexed punk b-boy Rolling Stones revival." In March 2006 the group recorded their debut album at Prairie Sun Studios. Featured on the album is the track "I Was Wrong," a duet between Harris and Lisa Kekaula, singer of the Bellrays and Grammy-winning vocalist with Basement Jaxx.

'I would do it, push the button, pull the trigger, jump of a cliff...' she sings, clearly not just 'a little bit' in love as she tries to convince herself, but rather in the grip of an overwhelming infatuation." Jon Lusk of BBC Music called it "metronomic, infectiously hummable" and viewed it as "a great new example of the emotional conflict which 10cc and Smokey Robinson lyrically documented so well." Adrien Begrand of PopMatters felt that the song's "approach is far more subtle that most contemporary pop singles would ever dare to be, its gentle, slightly distorted bass synth propelled by the faintest traces of percussion, both electronic and acoustic, Yttling providing mandolin accents during the chouses. But it's Lykke Li who commands our attention, delivering as perfect a hook in the chorus that rivals Robyn's best work, but not before making us fall off our chairs with a second verse that tosses aside all nuance in favor of direct, unadulterated lust.

Among the former are Lucia Pamela, an Ethel Merman sound-alike who contributes an infectiously enthusiastic celebration of "Walking on the Moon", and Congress-Woman Malinda Jackson Parker, a late Liberian lawmaker whose "Cousin Mosquito #1" cautioned against contracting insect-borne disease. The latter includes Daniel Johnston, whose "Walking the Cow" weds a sublime melody to puzzling lyrics and a toy keyboard arrangement, and Wesley Willis, who pays tribute to Chicago's "Rock 'n' Roll McDonald's". Some of the artists are quite famous (Tiny Tim), some anonymous (the unknown writer and performers of song- poem "Virgin Child of the Universe")—they're united by their blithe certitude that the world needed to hear their unlikely but singular creations. Volumes one and two of the digital audio releases of Songs in the Key of Z were reissued in expanded (25 tracks each) and remastered format in September 2013, along with all-new volumes three and four.

Lockhart missed out on selection for the Salt Lake City Olympics in 2002, and had to watch from afar as the team skipped by Rhona Martin won plaudits for becoming the winners of Great Britain's first gold medal in any sport at the Winter Olympics since ice dancers Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean in 1984. However, Lockhart claimed to have been nothing but inspired by what she saw on television, and was to prove her point in spectacular fashion in the weeks to follow. She started in the buzzing atmosphere that enveloped the Scottish Championships in Glasgow, where her team – largely inexperienced at the highest level apart from herself at skip – overcame Rhona Martin's rink in a three-match final to claim the right to represent Scotland at the World Championships in Bismarck, North Dakota, ahead of the newly famed Olympic gold medallists. In Bismarck, not for the first time, Lockhart made a name for herself for her habit of constantly projecting her infectiously quirky worldview onto what was happening on the ice.
