Pucker Up is the second studio album by American disco act Lipps Inc. The album was released in 1980 on Casablanca Records. The album contains the minor hit "How Long", a cover of the 1974 hit by Ace, reaching number 4 on the U.S. dance chart and number 29 on the U.S. soul singles chart. It was not as successful as the group's previous album.
Critical reception
Template:Music ratings Pucker Up received mixed reviews from critics. AllMusic's Amy Hanson said "Unfortunately, that one song (How Long) is the album, and the rest just pales in its wake. And, if the truth were to be told, the album itself pales in the wake of "Funkytown". Sometimes it's better to be remembered as a one-hit wonder."[1]
