  1. 8.0 |   musicOMH

    Possibly the weirdest and by extension greatest track on the record is I Hate You, in which the various musicians playing confess which of their band mates’ annoying attributes pisses them off the most

  2. 8.0 |   The Independent

    He’s every bit as durable as the American city he celebrates.

  3. 8.0 |   Mojo

    In sterling voice throughout. Print edition only

  4. 8.0 |   Under The Radar

    Alice Cooper has taken over you and damn does it feel good

  5. 7.0 |   Punk News

    The criticism of some later day Coop albums is that they feel a little underbaked- The Eyes of Alice Cooper, Raise your fist and yell, and a few others. Detroit Stories is fully formed and tells its story without trying too hard… or too little

  6. 7.0 |   Vinyl Chapters

    On the whole, this album does not disappoint. It’s varied, it’s exciting, and it’s just what we need at the moment

  7. 7.0 |   Rolling Stone

    The shock rocker’s love for the Motor City is genuine, but he won’t let that stand between him and a good one-liner

  8. 7.0 |   American Songwriter

    Old Cooper followers can rejoice in Detroit Stories, easily one of his best and most invigorating collections in at least a few decades. Sometimes you can go home again

  9. 6.0 |   Uncut

    More Nugent than Stooges, Detroit Stories recalls his wild '70s heyday, especially on lighters-up "Social Debris" and the gloriously goofy "Independence Dave." Too Often though, it sounds slick and perfunctory. Print edition only

  10. 6.0 |   The Arts Desk

    An unashamed retro-rockin’ good time

  11. 5.0 |   All Music

    Detroit Stories ends up feeling like a handful of solid covers of classic Detroit tunes with some Alice Cooper extras thrown in at random

  12. 2.4 |   Gig Soup

    Forgettable, bleak, and unfortunately undermining the 1970s Alice Cooper reputation. Detroit Stories is listenable but not much more. Whatever happened to the baby-killing Alice Cooper we fell in love with?
