This clue could be a double definition.

'smooth yes but you don't want all that' is the first definition.

(Other definitions for slick that I've seen before include "Meretricious" , "Smooth" , "Sleek - film of oil" , "Smart" , "polished performance" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
