Upon its release, Venni Vetti Vecci received generally mixed reviews. Ja Rule received several comparisons to fellow rappers Tupac Shakur and DMX. Writing for Vibe magazine, Shaheem Reid felt that the majority of the album was "hampered by colorless production", stating that Ja Rule "desperately needs tighter tracks to compliment his MC skills".

Venni Vetti Vecci debuted at number three on the Billboard 200 chart, selling 184,000 copies in its first week. The album was certified platinum in the United States by the Recording Industry Association of America. By November 2002, the album had sold over 2 million copies worldwide.

Famous quotes containing the words critical and/or reception:

    You took my heart in your hand
    With a friendly smile,
    With a critical eye you scanned,
    Then set it down,
    And said: It is still unripe,
    Better wait awhile;
    Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)

    To aim to convert a man by miracles is a profanation of the soul. A true conversion, a true Christ, is now, as always, to be made by the reception of beautiful sentiments.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
