Eminem, in an interview with Billboard, described that he was in "full-blown addiction" at the time of recording Encore, while he felt happy and "first got sober" during recording Relapse as he was no more an addict.
However, he felt that while recording Relapse, he was not "paying attention to what the average listener might like or not like. The album's artwork featured two covers: One with Eminem walking down a country road and another with him sitting in a transparent living room in the middle of Detroit with the Renaissance Center in the background. The album's liner featured pictures of Eminem such as a picture of him praying and him posing without a shirt on.
The album opens with "Cold Wind Blows" in which Eminem sings regarding his "doomed love for his ex-wife" and on "settling scores with rival celebs". Idolator commented that the song was based on the "dark days Eminem has lived through", and "he seems to be at peace with himself now. Jim Jonsin of MTV spoke about Eminem's two egos seen in the video and compared it to Alanis Morissette's "Ironic" video while Grey believed that the alternate Eminem who appears in the car is his subconscious.
The hip-hop ballad "Love The Way You Lie" describes a couple's refusal to separate despite having an abusive relationship. Rihanna sings the chorus again, backed by an electric guitar and a piano, while acoustic guitar, violin and pounding drums accompany Eminem's verses. The singing of Rihanna despite of being without vibrato, her voice "shows grief and regret". Recovery was confirmed during a press release by Eminem's label on March 5, , and was originally titled Relapse 2.
On April 13, , Eminem revealed through Twitter that Relapse 2 was scrapped. It was followed by him tweeting "Recovery" with a link to his website. Eminem said "I had originally planned for Relapse 2 to come out last year. But as I kept recording and working with new producers, the idea of a sequel to Relapse started to make less and less sense to me, and I wanted to make a completely new album.
The music on Recovery came out very different from Relapse, and I think it deserves its own title. The first single, "Not Afraid" was released on Shade 45 and has received free streaming on Eminem's website since then. The song sold , digital downloads in its first week, and became the sixteenth song in the history of the US Billboard Hot to debut at number one; it is only the second hip hop single to debut at number one following "I'll Be Missing You" by Puff Daddy and Faith Evans featuring Rolling Stone praised Eminem's commitment on his new music and lyrical ability noting "Over a dark, operatic beat, Eminem delivers rhymes that are typically acrobatic — and typically heavy-handed.
But the anger has a gathering quality. The song debuted at number two on the US Billboard Hot and later peaked number one. It also claimed the top spot on over 20 other charts worldwide. The song became Eminem's best-selling single of all time, selling 9. Joseph Kahn directed the music video which premiered on August 5, The video starred Dominic Monaghan and Megan Fox in a love-hate relationship.
Michael Menachem from Billboard commented that "Rihanna's chorus is exquisitely melodic and surprisingly hopeful, complementing the turmoil of Em's dark, introspective rant. The song peaked number 23 on the Billboard Hot and stayed on the charts for 20 weeks. The video was about a young school boy who was bullied but had the urge to stand up after being motivated by listening to songs by Eminem and Lil Wayne. The video was slammed by British anti-violence campaigners.

At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 63, based on 28 reviews. Allmusic's David Jeffries praised Eminem's performance as potent and energetic, and said that the album "may be flawed Neil McCormick of The Daily Telegraph commended him for addressing more mature, introspective subject matter and successfully "framing his misogyny, homophobia and all-round bigotry with an undeniable sense of empathy and humanity.
Sean O'Neal of The A. Club felt that his lively raps make up for the "endless atonement metaphors" that occasionally weigh down the album. Kitty Empire, writing in The Observer, said that it is "better than average" as a "latterday Eminem album" that shows, "in bursts, Eminem's health is very nearly rude.
His most confessional as well". In a mixed review, Jon Caramanica of The New York Times regarded Eminem as "frustratingly limited in his topical range" and called Recovery "the most insular of all his releases". Andy Gill of The Independent commented that "there's nothing here quite as witty or engaging as" on his previous work. Pitchfork Media's Jayson Greene perceived a lack of lyrical depth and wrote "for the first time in his career, he actually sounds clumsy".
Chicago Tribune writer Greg Kot said that it lacks hooks and fun: "The subversive humor is long gone, and his cultural references Richards also found Eminem's pop culture references "inane" and called the album's material "unsurprisingly hollow" with punchlines that "rarely resonate". Los Angeles Times writer Jeff Weiss found his rhyme schemes "dazzling" and wordplay "clever", but panned its production as "monochromatic and monotonous".
