Reception

[edit]

Nice Try, The Devil was met with positive reviews. The A.V. Club named it the 6th-best comedy album of 2013, saying that it "builds on what Holmes established with his great 2011 album, Impregnated With Wonder, [where] folks would kill for the kind of guffaws Nice Try, The Devil produces".[1] Paste ranked it as the 10th-best stand-up special of 2013, saying that it "shows off Pete Holmes’ comedic voice hilariously, loudly and undeniably".[2] Consequence of Sound said that it "is a haphazard rodeo molded in the mind of a charismatic optimist [...] There are plenty of laughs, plus a nice dose of weirdness, if you're into that sort of thing".[3]
