AllMusic
This album is obviously targeting those with a taste for perversity. If that means you, then you'll love this; if that doesn't mean you, then the album is still worth investigating, if only for Eminem's show-stealing performance as not only an MC but also as an adept producer and songwriter.

Although D12 will have to formulate a few adjustments to their recent album, Devil’s Night is overall a solid debut and will showcase the hidden talents that lie in the trenches of the Motor City.

NME

That’s D-12’s saving grace: they’re funny. There’s a lot of laughs on ‘Devils Night’. Problem is, those that aren’t hollow are too close to the bone for comfort.

Rolling Stone

The balance between humor, shock, raw talent and psychosis that Eminem achieved on his last two albums is off. Before, at least, you got the sense that he was muddling his way through his rage, using music as therapy. On Devil's Night, Eminem is waist-deep in the crap. And his buddies aren't pulling him out.

Q Magazine

It's very difficult to see the tough-talking Devils Night as anything other than a slightly tweaked re-run of The Marshall Mathers LP.

Entertainment Weekly

Devil's Night — the first disc by the Detroit hip hop posse ... is neither reflective nor less hardened. It’s where Eminem throws his success in our faces; even though he’s only on roughly half of it, Devil's Night affirms that he can make and release any kind of music he wants.

Too immature and redundant for my taste, but the highlights (American Psycho, Purple Pills, Fight Music) are mandatory listening for Em stans.

Many of you who've followed my account for a while probably know of my Eminem opinions. Despite having a very inconsistent catalog I still love his music a lot and surprise to no one, his first three albums are my favorites from him. So you would think a whole rap group that featured Eminem would drop a great album during the prime of Shady right?

No. Not really.

To start off let me introduce every member from best to most dogshit. Eminem is the one everybody knows and- I shouldn't need to ... read more

Bizarre is seriously the only reason why this album isn’t perfect, In my opinion. Seriously, all of them have great chemistry together; they all seem to be having fun on this album. They can go from a fun and silly song that can make you laugh to being harsh and almost murderous, then slaughtering mics. They all play a role in this album that makes it so fun while also having fantastic technical abilities. The sad thing is that you often don’t hear people talking about ... read more

Devil's Night is a great album with a weight holding it down. Swifty, Kuniva, Kon, Harry & Shady deliver hard verses throughout the the project. However, Bizzare's terrible and pointless shock value lyrics drag it down IMMENSELY. If there's one thing Steve Berman was right about, he was right about Bizzare...
