  1. 8.0 |   All Music

    A mature breakup album that still retains all of the band's youthful, sock-to-the-gut pop energy
    Read Review

  2. 8.0 |   musicOMH

    A band that is more than ever not afraid to expose their own insecurities
    Read Review

  3. 7.4 |   Sputnik Music (staff)

    Most importantly, they continue to demonstrate a keen sense for how to connect with any audience
    Read Review

  4. 7.0 |   The 405

    There is a reason Jimmy Eat World are so well respected when it comes to their particular brand of emo music, and Damage is full of catchy-yet-thoughtful songs that make it an incredibly accessible release

  5. 7.0 |   NME

    Few bands do heartache with as much majesty. Print edition only

  6. 7.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    In their quest to update the breakup record for those a bit too old to mope and stew in their juices, Jimmy Eat World succeeds here for the most part

  7. 6.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    There's flashes of Jimmy Eat World brilliance and even a few classics in there, but this is an album that's also prone to a few fillers and cheesy one liners

  8. 6.0 |   PopMatters

    Respectable in execution, but not as recommendable compared as some of their previous works, Damage is nevertheless a serviceable effort from a still very talented band

  9. 5.0 |   DIY

    Perhaps in trying to grow old a little too gracefully Jimmy Eat World have lost some of the youthful exuberance that so endeared them to us

  10. 5.0 |   A.V. Club

    The band has honed its sound so well—and shown little interest in expanding it much—that new Jimmy Eat World albums have become less of an event and more of a mundane routine

  11. 4.0 |   Rolling Stone

    These meat and potatoes sure could use some fresh gravy

  12. 4.0 |   The Digital Fix

    On this evidence, it does seem that Jimmy Eat World’s glory days are long gone
