The front cover of the sleeve features a black and white image of the rear of a car parked on a wooden boardwalk. The boot of the car is open and a pair of legs can be seen extending inside the boot. Beyond the car a man is standing looking out to sea with a small child standing next to him. The record title is at the front bottom right corner in multi-coloured lettering and there is a black and white Parental Advisory logo for explicit content at the front top right corner. The rear of the sleeve has a photograph of Eminem without a shirt on and holding his head in his hands. To the right of this image there is a printed list of the song titles on the record.
