David Browne of Entertainment Weekly gave the album an A, stating, "More than just a dramatic improvement over its predecessor, Scorpion is the first female hip hop project that even attempts to fill the void left by The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill."[8]AllMusic editor Jason Birchmeier found that on the album "Eve brings even more muscle to her follow-up album, Scorpion. Her rhymes flow just as smoothly here as they did on her debut, and she sounds even more confident than before [...] At 16 tracks, this album doesn't overreach and really doesn't have too many surprises. There are a few flawed moments where the choruses aren't as catchy as they intend to be, but for the most part Eve plays it safe. If you liked her first album, you'll like this one even better."[7]
"You Had Me, You Lost Me" contains a portion of the composition "Over Like a Fat Rat" as written by James Calloway, Aaron Davenport, and Leroy Jackson.
"No, No, No" features samples from the
Dawn Penn recording "You Don't Love Me (No, No, No)".
