Tony Sokol of Den of Geek gave it a rating of 5/5 stars and wrote, "[the series] maintains a consistently high quality in production value, cinematic scope, and character study, as well as suspense, romance, and exploration of the greyest moral corners. 'Is My Very Nature That of a Devil' breaks rules, and frees the series to mix Jones' vision and Rice's story. It feels both revelatory and revolutionary as it plays out, musical in its language, and eloquently instrumental. It is a high point of a series which has been building steadily and suspensefully." Sokol also lauded both Anderson's and Reid's performances.[9] Concluding his review, Sean T. Collins of Decider praised the writing, character development, and performances of Anderson and Reid, saying that "[the two] remain absolutely terrific as Louis and Lestat, the former rough around the edges but morally sensitive, the latter aesthetically refined but a brute at heart, using that refinement to justify that brutality."[10] The episode also received a rating of 4.5/5 stars from Ashley Bissette Sumerel of Tell-Tale TV,[11] 4.3/5 stars from Whitney Evans of TV Fanatic,[12] 3.5/5 stars from Greg Wheeler of The Review Geek,[13] and 3/5 stars from Kathleen Walsh of Vulture.[14]
