The album has received mostly positive reviews, with critics praising it for speedy guitar riffs and darker themes. Chris Chantler of British Metal Hammer reviewed the album positively saying that Devil Seed is "a far more varied and rounded, and rather darker, album than usual."{{cite web|last1=Chantler|first1=Chris|title=Wolf: Devil Seed|url=http://metalhammer.teamrock.com/reviews/2014-08-19/wolf-devil-seed|website=metalhammer.teamrock.com|publisher=Metal Hammer UK|accessdate=19 February 2015}} Bravewords 's Mark Gromen described album as " a sleek construction, devoid of frills, just killing technology. Simple, speedy, guitar driven anthems with easy-to-sing, repetitive choruses."{{cite web|title=WOLF - Devil Seed|url=http://bravewords.com/reviews/wolf-devil-seed|website=bravewords.com|date=September 3, 2014 |publisher=Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles|accessdate=19 February 2015}} Also Metal Shock Finland 's Mohsen Fayyazi reviewed this album, saying that the album is "absolutely a milestone in WOLF’s career, a point made of knowledge, genius and bravery."{{cite web|last1=Mohsen|first1=Fayyazi|title=Track By Track Review: WOLF "Devil Seed" (2014)|url=http://metalshockfinland.com/2014/08/12/review-wolf-devil-seed-2014/|website=Metal Shock Finland|date=August 12, 2014 |accessdate=19 February 2015}}
