Curtain Call 2 was met with generally favorable reviews from critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 74, based on four reviews.[7]

AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine praised the album, saying that it is "generous to a fault, playing like an endless streaming playlist instead of a curated compilation, yet it does feature many highlights from Eminem's mid-career records".[8] Grant Jones of RapReviews.com wrote: "The 'Eminem sound' the first Curtain Call could accurately collate and celebrate (given 100% of it was produced by either Dre or Em) has been pushed aside in favor of party trick flows and quick-win hooks from guests. It still seems to be a successful approach, but it's not as satisfying to revisit".[11] Drew Millard of Pitchfork stated: "despite showcasing some of Eminem's stylistic growing pains, Curtain Call 2 isn't completely lined with duds".[10] In his mixed review, Robin Murray of Clash wrote: "Curtain Call 2 is at its most engaging when the Detroit figure simply cuts back on the Billboard tie-ins, and reminds us all why he became such a revered rapper in the first place. ... As a project, however, Curtain Call 2 is weighed down by its flaws. There's no ignoring the wayward path Eminem has taken over the past two decades, and the tracklisting reflects this".[9]


Commercial performance


The album debuted at number six on the US Billboard 200, earning 43,000 album-equivalent units in its first week.[12] It is Eminem's 12th US top-10 album, and first since The Slim Shady LP not to reach number one, thus ending Eminem's streak of number-one albums at ten.[12] Curtain Call 2 was the best-selling album of the week in pure sales, with 18,000 copies sold.[12] It also debuted at number three on the UK Albums Chart.[13] The album has moved a total of 700,000 album-equivalent units as of October 26th, 2022, including 32,900 pure album sales, 132,100 sing sales, 830 million audio-on-demand streams, and 130 million video-on-demand streams according to HitsDailyDouble.
