In a positive review, Entertainment Weekly writer said that Eve-Olution is a `more complex and sophisticated sound that dexterously mixes up moods and tones.` He also stated that `instead of the record coming off like a pu-pu platter -- a little R&B from column A, a little pop from column B -- it maintains its focus, making it a wholly satisfying experience.`[4] Hope Gonzalez of IGN called the album a `smorgasbord of beats` because it `dapples in soul, electronic, and even salsa music to create yet another opus of hip-pop jingles.` She also said `Gangsta Lovin" is `quite different` from most of the tracks on the album because it is `the most radio-friendly track on the album.`[5]

Slant Magazine`s Sal Cinquemani said `Eve fares better when the rhythms are sexy and the rhymes are slick`.[9] AllMusic noted that the `focus here is less hip-hop and more contemporary R&B, with fewer rappers invited as guests`. He dismissed the songs `What` and `Gangsta Lovin" as `surprisingly mediocre`, adding that the guest vocalists are `vamping over bland choruses and Eve contributing only a few good rhymes.`[3] He compared the album to Eve`s previous releases and claimed `Eve-Olution can`t offer as much as either of her first two solid LPs.`[3] In contrast, Cinquemani said that `Eve`s Eve-Olution might not change the order of the hip-hop food chain as we know it but it`s another tight record that will undoubtedly keep her, um, rydin` high.`[9]
