Goodbye Jumbo is the second studio album by Welsh-British alternative rock band World Party, released in May 1990 on Ensign Records.

[2] Writing for Spin, Jon Young deemed Goodbye Jumbo a "winning opus" and said that frontman Karl Wallinger's "unabashed enthusiasm" and "ability to craft killer pop tunes" prevent the album's liberal referencing of earlier musical styles from becoming "sterile".

[13] Chicago Tribune critic Greg Kot considered the album to be heavily influenced by the Beatles' "sense of pop and studio craft", further commenting that the "biting" humour and irony in its lyrics are effectively balanced by upbeat "melodies and moments".

[4] Chris Willman of the Los Angeles Times stated that Wallinger's "Lennonisms sound somehow endemic, not affected", and that the album never lapses into "petty theft" despite its numerous influences.

[15] It was also voted the fifteenth best album of 1990 in The Village Voice's year-end Pazz & Jop critics' poll.
