Q Magazine (7/01, p.130) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...One of the few occasions where 2Pac's music matches his kinetic personality....he really was the peerless embodiment of gangsta rap, a strutting provocateur staking out turf, calling out enemies and consoling peers..."
Musician (6/96, p.90) - "...gangsta rappers pretty much share the values of their Republican detractors: the emphasis on making money, the righteousness of bearing arms, the wonderfulness of consumption, respect for hierarchy and loyalty to one's own as overriding principles..."
New Musical Express (3/2/96, p.47) - 9 (out of 10) - "...ALL EYEZ is his angry, end-of-tether, couldn't-give-a-shit meditation....an immense spewing of indignation and provocation, set to a brilliantly varied range of G-funk grooves....Tupac blasts out his non-PC opinions...with a competition-eliminating relentlessness..."
Entertainment Weekly (3/8/96, p.64) - "...On ALL EYEZ ON ME, 2Pac is clearly thrilled to host his own bustin'-out party. But even on this booty-shaking album, he's watching his back throughout the entire bash."
