The cover of Danity Kane's sophomore release features the group members draped in negligees and bedsheets, and WELCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE makes good on the breezy, sexy allure of the image. With studio help from trackmasters Danja and Bryan Michael Cox, among others, and guest appearances from the likes of P. Diddy and Missy Elliott, Danity Kane have crafted a frothy collection of R&B-infused pop that bursts with radio-ready tunes. The ladies prove adept at lush balladry ("Ecstasy"), uptempo dance numbers ("Bad Girl"), and glamorous singalongs ("Damaged"). The image, material, and sound of WELCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE comes coated with a high degree of polish, but the precision of that polish makes it a pure pop confection.
Vibe (p.70) - "[T]hey score space-age soundscapes from producer Danjahandz on 'Pretty Boy' and 'Striptease,' both of which have whispery hooks that sound positively addictive."
