As of 2008, Goddamnit has sold 94,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.^[8] Mike DaRonco of AllMusic called Goddamnit "hands down the perfect listening in the wake of a broken heart" and remarked that "It's rare that a band such as Alkaline Trio can make love songs appealing without being labeled as 'wimpy' or 'generic', and Goddamnit is the record to erase those labels."^[3]
