James Hibberd Entertainment Weekly 07/24/2018
The writers wrote themselves into a corner by having Oliver Queen arrested for being The Hood and wiggled out of it more convincingly than I expected. Go to Full Review Myles McNutt AV Club 07/20/2018
B+
"Damaged" still sees the show working out some kinks, but that it's avoiding becoming too clean and straightforward is ultimately to its credit moving forward. Go to Full Review Sam Woolf We Got This Covered 07/30/2018
["Damaged"] was firing on all cylinders, delivering the tight, fun, respectably acted hour of superhero television that the show has been striving towards, one which will hopefully become the new template for future stories. Go to Full Review Leigh Raines TV Fanatic 07/26/2018
5/5
Everyone was involved in "Damaged," as there was a balance between love, family, business... and vigilante ass kicking. Go to Full Review Nick Setchfield SFX Magazine 07/26/2018
3.5/5
Gratuitous bunny-skewering aside, the island flashbacks prove the most engaging part of this episode. Go to Full Review Kevin Yeoman Screen Rant 07/25/2018
'Damaged' demonstrates that Arrow is intent on making Oliver and his alter ego something more than an uncomplicated superhero on a quest. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
