What does "No critiques from Taxi" mean?

I see this in listings often, but I couldn't find anything about it with the forum search engine.Thanks,Andre

Normally the Taxi reviewer provides a critique, but not for those listings.

Why would this even be an option? The critique is supposed to be between us and Taxi anyway; is Taxi in the habit of passing their critiques along to the listers?Why would the lister care whether or not Taxi provides us with helpful information about our submission? I guess I just don't see what the point is of being deprived a critique on any of our submissions.Respectfully,Andre

Hello,"No Critiques" just means that the song will get a "Yes/No" on the forward but the song won't be critiqued. It either gets forwarded or it doesn't and that's it. Normally Taxi screens and critiques the songs. Sometimes the person or a representative from the company that made the listing makes a request to screen the music directly themselves. An example would be that a music supervisor from a television show comes in and personally screens the music for the listing they ran with Taxi. In that case the listing would most likely be a "no critique" listing. It's still only between you and the screener, whoever that may be.Hope that helps, Dave
