Writing for Loud and Quiet , Kyle Kohner gave this album an 8 out of 10, calling it "one of the most refreshing punk records anyone will hear this year". [1] Nina Corcoran of Pitchfork rated Post-American a 7.4 out of 10, praising frontman Deedee in particular as "the final garnish on an album defined by unexpected combinations" that "instills a humble profundity in MSPAINT’s music". [2] In a profile of MSPAINT published before the release of this album, Stereogum 's Julia Towers predicted this would be one of the best albums of the year [4] and in a June round-up of the best albums of 2023, the publication placed this at third, with Chris DeVille writing that "there’s nothing quite like this album". [5]

In a June 19 review of the best albums of 2023, editors at Paste ranked this 23 for being "an invigorating call to prioritize love and justice in a time when virtually every part of society and culture encourages robotic mindlessness". [6] In Exclaim! , this was rated the 19th best album of 2023. [7] Editors at Stereogum chose this for the ninth best album of 2023. [8] Editors at Pitchfork included this in their list of the 37 best rock albums of 2023. [9] Editors at BrooklynVegan included this on their list of the 55 best albums of 2023. [10]

A piece by Nina Corcoran for Pitchfork chose this album to spotlight how American hardcore punk music embraced experimentation and cross-genre elements in 2023. [11]
