  1. New Musical Express (NME)

    You'll find Eels' most revealing, autobiographical work-to-date to be the most beautiful break-up record since Beck's 'Sea Change'.
  2. Rolling Stone
    60
    Everett keeps these ballads and rockers short, spare and pretty; his sad reportage is straightforward to the point of being guileless.
  3. Pitchfork
    39
    A foreboding chronicle of the unpleasantness to follow, the typical arc of a break-up tale never materializes as "The Beginning" promises.

    A very heartfelt, personal record. Eels is a project that will never have the same commercial success as it did in the 90s, but the CRITICAL success should still be standing. Its a shame to see it isnt because End Times is a pretty damn good CD.… Expand

    Oh dear. How mediocre. There's no new ideas here. No new sound. No new sentiment. I've been on the Eels journey since Beautiful Freak, and loved many years of it. But E - you're right with the name of the album at least. This just sounds self indulgent and selfish. I feel like I'm just paying for your ongoing therapy. On this form, it may be time to grow up, move on and do something else. Honesty is the best policy. Sure you of all people would agree with that.… Expand
