* [[AllMusic]] - "Danzig debuts with a record of simple, pounding, bluesy metal featuring lead singer Glenn Danzig's trademark [[Elvis Presley|Elvis]]-meets-[[Jim Morrison]] bellow and outlandishly dark, evil lyrics. There isn't a great deal of musical variety or complexity here, but the band powers its way through such signature tunes as 'Twist of Cain,' 'Am I Demon,' and the (future) hit 'Mother' with a primal energy."<ref name="AllMusic"/>
* ''[[Thrasher (magazine)|Thrasher]]'' - "Glenn Danzig has built up a new unit that's so damn powerful, so relentlessly brutal, it staggers the senses just to comprehend. The ensemble drives forth with a new force, an ambitious direction and absolutely ferocious power. Glenn's vocals have matured with age; his [[Crooner|croons]] are commanding expressions of the full range of his voice...the music explodes with a vigorous combination of hooks and punches that wallop a tight, clean drive; a forceful nucleus of hard rocking energy. All together Danzig provide a heavy dose of pure entertainment that has awesome momentum and pile-driving fury. ''Danzig'' becomes more impressive with every listen."<ref name="Thrasher">{{Cite web|url=https://www.misfitscentral.com/display.php?t=darticle&f=thrasher.87|title=Look At This! :: MisfitsCentral.com|website=Misfitscentral.com|access-date=May 21, 2023}}</ref>
* ''[[Trouser Press]]'' - "''Danzig'' is a crunchy and lusty demonic cross between [[The Doors]], [[Misfits (band)|Misfits]] and [[Black Sabbath]]. Roughly half of the album is ominous and mighty, the rest displays the weak underbelly of Rubin's thinly homogeneous production."<ref name="TrouserPress">{{cite web |url=https://trouserpress.com/reviews/danzig/ |title=Danzig |last1=Fasolino |first1=Greg |last2=Robbins |first2=Ira |publisher=[[Trouser Press]] |access-date=2021-10-07 }}</ref>

In 2017, ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' ranked ''Danzig'' as 23rd on their list of "The 100 Greatest Metal Albums of All Time".<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.theprp.com/2017/06/21/news/rolling-stone-share-choices-100-greatest-metal-albums-time/|title = Rolling Stone Share Their Choices for 'The 100 Greatest Metal Albums of All Time'|website=Theprp.com|date = June 21, 2017}}</ref>
