Devil's Got Your Tongue is the fifteenth album by Abbey Lincoln, and her third for Verve Records.

[2] A reviewer for AllMusic stated: "Her interpretive skills and emotional commitment to the material are such that she can even take on a familiar standard like 'A Child Is Born' and make it her own.

It's gratifying to see a major jazz label allowing Lincoln's musical vision to flourish and grow.

"[3] The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings wrote: "Vocally and musically, the material is too dense, almost as if she is trying to recapture the contours of the old Candid sessions, but not recognizing that modern recording and production will tend to swamp arrangements like this.

"[5] All tracks are written by Abbey Lincoln, unless otherwise notedTrack information and credits adapted from the album's liner notes.
