Lisa-Marie Ferla of The Arts Desk wrote that The Devil in Me "bursts out of the gate with a title track and string of songs that place it in the same lineage as her 1970s glam rock catalogue, all chugging bass and snarling vocals", before the pace changes after track five, and concluding "Suzi Quatro at 70 is a long way from done".[1] Julian Marszalek of Classic Rock stated that "if her latest album The Devil in Me proves anything it's that you can take Suzi Quatro out of Detroit, but you'll never take Detroit out of Suzi" as the tracks make "considerable nods to her roots and inspirations". Marszalek summarized that "if the devil does have the best tunes, then Suzi Quatro is grabbing enough of them here".[3] Will Russell of Hot Press felt that "Quatro and her trusty bass are in excellent form" and the album "is a most valuable addition to her canon".[4]
