Reception
Nice Try, The Devil was met with positive reviews upon its release. The A.V. Club named it the 6th best album of 2013, saying, "Nice Try, The Devil 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." Paste also ranked it as the 10th best stand-up special of 2013, saying, "Nice Try, The Devil shows off Pete Holmes’ comedic voice hilariously, loudly and undeniably. Consequence of Sound reviews this by saying, "Nice Try, The Devil is a haphazard rodeo molded in the mind of a charismatic optimist. There are plenty of laughs, plus a nice dose weirdness, if you’re into that sort of thing." Rate Your Music rated it 3.49 out of 5 stars according to 17 users.
