They added three more reviews

It may be all about style, it may be a little crass and self-centered, but it's also catchy, exciting, and unique.

Aguilera doesn't have the gravitas of her heroes, and her forays into bluesy torch singing and '40s-style swing are stiff and mannered. But she needn't genuflect before the past -- she can make her own glorious kind of 21st-century noise.

It's too much.

At one disc, this would have been nothing short of masterful. [24 Aug 2006, p.96]

The first disc contains all the major American radio hits, but at no small price. It's all craft and very little heart. Disc two, then, comes as welcome respite.

This rather bloated record should be regarded as a disappointment - an interesting one, but a disappointment none the less.
40/The Guardian
Beyond the retro instrumentation, however, it's unclear what Aguilera has really learned from her idols.
Anyway, they might not add all the reviews, since metacritic.com is more of movie/TV SHOW and game site, which is why we see 35-70 critics on the other sections I mentioned above, unlike the music reviews which rarely go past 20 critics (or they might not be that many music critics?).
