===Original reviews===
''100 Broken Windows'' was met with generally favorable reviews from [[Music journalism|music critics]]. ''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'' writer Brian M. Raftery said Woomble's voice was "backed by rousing punk guitars and a ceaseless energy. The results are flashes of beauty and menace, often [...] in one song."<ref name=EWreview/> Octavio Hernandez of ''[[La Opinión]]'' said it was an "energetic recording", with Woomble's " brilliant voice and a rhythmic skeleton of great flavor".<ref name=LAreview/> ''[[Spin (magazine)|Spin]]''{{'s}} Jon Dolan wrote that the album was an "astounding follow-up" to ''Hope Is Important''.<ref name=Spinreview/> The staff at ''[[NME]]'' said melody is "now paramount over velocity, the rough edges of reckless spontaneity smoothed by the high-gloss patina of responsible coherence". They noted that the album "gracefully enacts the sort of awkward, jarring progression another band would take several albums to complete."<ref name=NMEreview/>

Keith Gwillim of ''[[Stylus Magazine|Stylus]]'' write that the band made music that is "all bluster and belligerence on the surface, but goes much deeper", showcasing that they were capable of "stealing from the past and making it your own".<ref name=Stylusreview/> ''[[Pitchfork (website)|Pitchfork]]'' joint reviewers Beatty & Garrett expected a repeat of ''Hope Is Important'' and were "completely [...] surprise[d]" as it had "[n]o more screeching.

They added that the "chord progressions are crisp and the hooks immediate."<ref name=PFreview/> In ''[[The Rolling Stone Album Guide]]'', Chris Ryan wrote that the band "grows up and gets smart", greatly "step[ping] up in song-writing quality, as melody takes precedence over noise".<ref name=RSAGreview>{{cite book|chapter=Idlewild|last=Ryan|first=Chris|title=The New Rolling Stone Album Guide|title-link=The Rolling Stone Album Guide|editor1-last=Brackett|editor1-first=Nathan|editor2-last=Hoard|editor2-first=Christian|publisher=[[Simon & Schuster]]|edition=4th|year=2004|pages=[https://archive.org/details/newrollingstonea00brac/page/401 401–02]|isbn=0-7432-0169-8}}</ref> [[AllMusic]] reviewer MacKenzie Wilson noted that the band "scale back a bit" on the album, while showing they had "grown up".<ref name=AMreview/>  Chris Lorraine for ''[[Blender (magazine)|Blender]]'' said that while it was a "melodic, chorus-catchy disc", the band's "need to kick into a loud anthemic chorus on each song feels a bit by-the-book".<ref name=Blenderreview/>
