"Even if the sound is perhaps slightly slicker than fans might expect, Redemption & Ruin is a wonderfully successful foray that solidifies and expands the band's already impressive credentials around a concept that's a natural extension from their existing catalog of originals".

"For 15 years, the drummerless trio has issued album after album of stomping roots music that weds country, bluegrass, early blues, and jug band traditions. This set of classic and obscure American tunes is divided thematically[...]: it journeys from a raucous and sinful Saturday night to Sunday morning and the hereafter ... Redemption & Ruin is a fine covers album: it not only illuminates and adds new dimensions to these songs, but it unmistakably reflects the Devil Makes Three's musical persona, making it a welcome addition to their catalog".

"A collection of lived in and loved covers made undeniably their own. The Devil Makes Three wrestle hellfire and holiness each to a draw ... They are true believers in the music. Redemption & Ruin is a damn fine Saturday night blurs into Sunday morning record".
