Loudwire
Alice in Chains' Facelift became the first grunge album to reach platinum status and went on to receive a double platinum certification. It also paved the way for greater things to come.

AllMusic
Although some parts of Facelift sink into turgid, ponderous bombast (particularly over the erratic second half), and the lyrics are sometimes immature, the overall effect is fresh, exciting, and powerful.

SputnikMusic
Facelift is a record that first brought grunge into the mainstream media in the early 90's.

Classic Rock Review
With this album, Alice In Chains was a blazing a trail for the deluge of change that was about to come to the music scene.

Jon Spencer Reviews
Alice in Chains’ debut is an extremely strong opener for any new band’s career.

TeenInk
The key to this album is that music, voice and lyrics are all at the same level of excellence and hard-laboring preparation, not coming across as mechanical and cold but as new, intense, and definitely dark.

Often imitated, never duplicated, ladies and gentleman, I give you Layne Staley in his absolute prime!

Metal Reviews
First and foremost is the first seven minutes or so of the album, two of the band’s best songs opening Facelift in killer fashion.

Only Solitaire
Facelift is a good metal album, and a great way to headbang if you're one of 'em angsty guys who think Nirvana are way too soft for you.
