	Ellie Robinson from '']'' described the album as "chaotic". Robinson said "It oscillates from alt-pop to nu-metal, punk and electronicore without so much as a moment of respite, taking listeners on a rollercoaster of sounds and emotions."<ref>{{cite web\|url=https://www.nme.com/features/music-features/redhook-interview-postcard-from-a-living-hell-emmy-mack-3436871\|title= RedHook "vomit out all the ugliness" on debut album ''Postcard from a Living Hell''\|website=]\|date=1 May 2023\|access-date=16 December 2024}}</ref>

	'']'' said "''Postcard from a Living Hell'' is eleven charismatic, hook-laden tracks forged in a signature particle collider of sonic influences." They continued saying "The LP is stacked with radio singles, including the femme-powered, EDM-inflected breakup anthem 'Imposter', saxophone-powered pop-punk self-roast 'Soju', the self-produced one-two punch of diabolical emo-meets-drum and bass banger 'Low Budget Horror‘' and incendiary anti-misogyny manifesto 'Say'.".<ref>{{cite web\|url=https://air.org.au/2023/04/26/feature-redhook-postcard-from-a-living-hell/\|title= Feature: RedHook – Postcard from a Living Hell\|website=]\|date=23 April 2023\|access-date=16 December 2024}}</ref>

	Tiana Speter from ''Hysteria Mag'' said "Fusing catharsis and extremely intimate personal narratives throughout the album only levels up the release further, with rage, serenity and everything in between carefully threading the album into a cohesive and compelling listening experience. A triumph not just for heavy music but for a band who consistently play by their own rules and never cease to impress."<ref>{{cite web\|url=https://www.hysteriamag.com/redhook-postcard-living-hell/\|title= RedHook ''Postcard from a Living Hell''\|website=Hysteria Mag\|date=4 May 2023\|access-date=16 December 2024}}</ref>

	Cait Macca from ''Wall of Sound'' said "This album spans sounds, genres, themes and features, and while that might sound a little hodge-podge, it all works incredibly well together and shows the range of this band. Even though the themes are heavy, they are dealt with in relatable ways and put to the sound of fun, upbeat, heavy music."<ref>{{cite web\|url=https://wallofsoundau.com/2023/04/18/redhook-postcard-from-a-living-hell-album-review/\|title=RedHook ''Postcard from a Living Hell'' (Album Review)\|website=Wall of Sound\|date=April 2023\|access-date=16 December 2024}}</ref>

	Andrea Peirce from '']'' said "''Postcard arom a Living Hell'' reminds me of a journal, written by someone working their way out of their own hell and into empowerment. The eleven-track album is an exciting and contemporary pop-punk release counterbalanced by old-school nu-metal at its core. It's worth a listen because it's loud, dark, honest and raw."<ref>{{cite web\|url=https://4zzz.org.au/reviews/albums/redhook-postcard-living-hell\|title=RedHook ''Postcard from a Living Hell''\| website=]\|date=April 2023\|access-date=16 December 2024}}</ref>
