I once received an E-mail from a noted publisher/writer in Nashville offering to critique songs, I think it was maybe 45 dollars for 3 songs. I E-mailed him back and said I didn't need critiques but was always looking for places to submit my material. He said send some. I sent 3 songs. He jumped on one of them and signed it to a publishing contract. It didn't get cut but I was happy to know my songs were getting some attention out there.

I have received invites to send anytime and un soliciated letters praising my songs by producers I submitted to. Also some have called me to send more material.

I have never paid for or asked for critiques from anyone. I let my songs do my speaking for me. Nuff said.
