AllMusic[8]

Red Eye was met with generally mixed reviews from music critics. The critic from RatingsGameMusic, commented saying that the project is a "solid trap album".[7] He also stated that Money Man "rapped with more energy on it, and that the trap beats he did his work over sounded a little more complex".[7] Plus, the critic praised the mixtape saying that mixtape is "one of those that you simply let run in the background to catch a vibe". And, the critic gave the mixtape a "C".[7]

AllMusic stated that the mixtape's tracks with guest appearances "provide a bit more variation, otherwise it's the same standard-issue trap beats and monotonous vocals heard on most of Money Man's releases".[8]
