Rolling Stone - Ranked number 26 in Rolling Stone's "100 Best Albums Of The 80s" survey, November 1989.

Rolling Stone (10/3/02, p.108) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...The essence of unrepetantly simple but savagely crafted hard rock..."

Q (8/00, p.126) - Included in Q's "Best Metal Albums Of All Time"

Q (12/94, p.157) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...The apotheosis of evil, sidewinding boogie and pig-ignorant sexism...BACK IN BLACK's irresistible first half gives it the edge over absolutely every other heavy rock album from the early 1980s..."

Mojo (12/00, p.84) - "...A tribute to Bon Scott, sung by a man he himself had once recommended....Highlights from the 10-million seller: 'You Shook Me All Night Long', 'Rock & Roll Ain't Noise Pollution' and doomy opener 'Hell's Bells'."

Uncut (9/03, p.123) - 5 stars out of 5 - "...AC/DC's precision, granite-cracking boogie, sky-bothering choruses and artless lust never sounded better than here..."
