    A rough, back-to-basics rap album.

    A dull slog with a dearth of hooks and a surfeit of gangsta cliches. [21 Nov 2003, p.87]

    From the amateurish cover art to a succession of clumsy diss tracks aimed at Fiddy, Blood in My Eye merely makes the Tupac disciple look desperate and directionless.

    Committed Ja Rule fans looking for those signature hip-pop collaborations he's taken to the bank before won’t find them here.
  5. AllMusic
    40
    There are only two quality songs, a lot of redundant trash-talking, and an overall sense of ridiculousness that pervades.
  6. Rolling Stone

    As refreshing as it is to hear Ja do something besides the singing approximation he's been practicing the past few years, the boasts here feel utterly tired.
  7. Q Magazine

    Desperately slim pickings... betray this release's roots as a mere EP. [Jan 2004, p.116]

    I think the album can be listen to,I think though that ja rule should not let 50 cent bother him.Because everyone in the wood knew that 50 I think the album can be listen to,I think though that ja rule should not let 50 cent bother him.Because everyone in the wood knew that 50 cent is a bad minded,jealous and envious bitch. He only picked on ja rule becase he saw a card that he could pull on him.He's talking about ja not being a thug because he sings in a r&b style or pattern. Yo,in jamaica its the man that looks the simplest is the killer most of the time.Its not the man that moves like he's serious.and ja rule got a better vocal!… Expand
