Did carpet bombings in WWII successfully serve their purpose of demoralizing the Axis powers and was there any pushback by civilians in the allied nations?

Pretty much the title. Were civilians in the axis powers demoralized by carpet bombing campaigns and what did civilians in the allied nations think of these campaigns? Or did allied civilians even know the extent of the bombings?

There is a very similar question here with answers by /u/Robert_B_Marks, me and further links by /u/Cyberpunkapostle, I recommend you give it a read.
