Allmusic.com gave Creatures of the Night a 4 star review:
Kiss were in the midst of multiple crises in the early ’80s, and 1982’s Creatures of the Night was an attempt to claw out of confusion, reverse waning popularity, and return to true heavy metal form….Ultimately the nine songs that make up the set were a return to form, falling back into loud and brawny riff-based rock, huge drum sounds, and power balladry, and adding technically improved performances to a sound that had been flailing for a while. Sinister groovers like “Rock and Roll Hell,” party anthem “I Love It Loud,” and the razor-sharp “War Machine” all put Kiss back in the ring with metal greats of the early ’80s like Ozzy and Priest.
