Yup, any time you "suffer" damage, be it hits or critical hits, you suffer the hits first and then the crits, and your shields absorb damage until you have none left.

If you want an effect to pierce shields, check out Category:Bypass Shields for effects that do that. These effects tell you to receive a damage card, not suffer damage. For example, Proton Bombs are a terrifying bomb that applies a face-up damage card to each ship in its blast range, which ignores shields.
