The Poison Red has received generally positive reviews from music critics. Megan Lockard (Cryptic Rock) praised the album and stated that "Nonpoint has used The Poison Red to highlight the story of life, beautifully. With lyrics that illustrate the different trials people face every day and hard-hitting beats to fill in the rest of the story, The Poison Red is an album full of deep, rich emotion."[6] Nicholas Senior of New Noise Magazine wrote, "The Poison Red is a really fun album that harnesses the right amount of anger, mixing it in with shout-a-long choruses and meaty riffs."[8]

Riley Rowe (Metal Injection) was more critical, stated that "Nonpoint has sharpened their songwriting, melody, and edge, but lack the capability to fully capture my attention. While I enjoyed the singles and a few tracks here and there, the overall impact of the album was a tad predictable."[7] UG Team (Ultimate Guitar) said, "All in all, though, this record, cliches and all, isn't all that bad. You're probably not going to lose yourself in it unless you're already a huge Nonpoint fan, but the songs are good for a listen and there's a lot of good riffs and solos to like on the album."[1]
