Rolling Stone
AC/DC showed how much fun true tastelessness could be and how liberating it could sound. These Australian delinquents played their bloodshot blues rock with the venom of punk rockers and the swagger of drunken lechers.The first batch of remastered reissues from AC/DC’s catalog captures the band at its politically incorrect peak.

AllMusic
In light of his passing, it's hard not to see Highway to Hell as a last testament of sorts, being that it was his last work and all, and if Scott was going to go out in a blaze of glory, this certainly was the way to do it.

Highway To Hell was the band’s big breakthrough, their first million-seller. And, sadly, the last record that Bon Scott ever made.

Thus beginning Highway to Hell, probably the greatest album in the history of AC/DC. I know Back In Black often gets referred to rather than this one, but believe me, if you're looking to get into Angus and company, this is the one for you. Heck, that's how I got into them.

The album was the band’s first reach into the US Top 100, selling over seven million copies and for a good reason, because every song on the album rocks and is enjoyable to listen to from start to finish.

Highway To Hell is yet another top notched album released by AC/DC. Boy can this band get down and play hard rock 'n roll! You can really feel the energy that comes from their music when you listen to them play!

Metal Storm
Highway To Hell is Bon Scott's last effort, and the album's title can be seen with a touch of macabre irony, considering his dramatic death. This album, together with the subsequent, signs a sky-high quality peak for the Australian guys. Their happy-go-lucky, light hearted hard rock, characterized by easy but strong riffs and solos, Scott's unique and unforgettable voice and experienced but at the same time fresh songwriting finds here its greatest example.
