  1. Like his frequent compadre Jay-Z, Rule loves his old-school R&B, but Rule's samples and grooves, rooted in '80s dance-floor pop, are more tuneful.
  2. What makes it a slightly better album than Rule 3:36, though, is the album's consistency.
  3. The hip-hopper's gravelly vocal style benefits greatly from the many collaborations here.
  4. The tracks on this album contain the right beats to make listeners' heads bounce. But more thoughtful music lovers will simply shake their heads at the profuse profanity and misogynistic philosophies Ja Rule perpetuates with Pain Is Love.
  5. Rule's scattered third album mixes love and war with uneven results, as his simple lyrics and unimaginative storytelling outweigh the stellar musical moments on this 16-cut collection.
  6. Uncut

    Rule's raw, worn vocal recalls 2Pac, a style perfect for the title track's state-of-the-nation address but wasted on fodder like "Smokin' And Ridin.'" [Jan 2002, p.140]
  7. Ja Rule's only real gift is for crafting undeniable pop hooks. That talent is underrated, but it still does little to cover up the rapper's derivative lyrics and crassly recycled 2Pacisms.

    Ja Rule is very underrated and Pain Is Love is one of the great albums of 2001.

    this album was weak. Venni Vitti Vicci was the best album i've ever heard, but his albums keep on getting worse and worse.
