This was a solid episode. It was good to see McCoy as the focus of a woman's attention rather than Kirk.
It was clear they consciously made the change up to try to avoid the notion that Kirk was just trolling for booty around the galaxy.
And I suppose, it made it easy that these guys were relatively confirmed bachelors - McCoy and Scotty, particularly, in their-mid 40s with no attachments.
And, production-wise, we don't even know that Spock is married yet. All we know is that he had somewhat of a dalliance with a human gal at one point. We know that Kirk is a hound with somewhat of a reputation in Starfleet.

The aliens were also well done. They could have easily come off as cartoonish, but Maab and Eleen were interesting characters.
I agree and I strongly believe that elements of this particular race were incorporated into the TNG/DS9 Klingon post-advent "revision" - watching this episode (which also, coincidentally includes a Klingon) makes it extremely clear. The Klingon could almost have been a Ferengi next to the Capellans.
Of course, I have no link or reference to support this - just a hunch. Whoever was tasked on revising/updating the Klingons would have, at least, reviewed all the TOS episodes containing Klingons, wouldn't they? So, it at least makes sense.

One of the best punchlines by a guest in all of TOS.
